Abstract
It ls the purpose of this paper to explore recent literature to ascertain the prevailing views on this subject. The available English and German literature which has appeared since approximately 1915 has been surveyed to determine mainly this one thing: What is the current thinking on the subject of the authorship of John’s Gospel? In this sense, this is largely a statistical study, and no particular effort has been made to distinguish between the authority and scholarship of those whose opinion are presented. The date 1915 was selected as the terminus a quo since the second decade of our century is often referred to as marking a change in the position of several scholars who formerly held staunchly to the traditional view of Johannine authorship. We are referring to Sanday, and, in a measure, also to Stanton.
