D Biblical Literature ÀËÖ m 6nãÓm E X:ì 0ÆgZÅ -gzz "Irenaeus calls John the beloved disciple, who wrote the Gospel in Ephesus. Papias mentions John the son of Zebedee, the disciple, as well as another John, the presbyter, who might have been at Ephesus. From internal evidence the Gospel was written by a beloved disciple whose name is unknown. Because both external and internal evidence are doubtful, a working hypothesis is that John and the Johannine letters were written and edited somewhere in the East(perhapes Ephesus) as the product of a "school," or Johannine circle, at the end of the firest century ". (Biblical Literature k, ibš ). : ì ~ The Westminster Dictionary of the Bible~{g!* kz?7c* ~gzjäý 3{!ÆgZÅ E O ä "The Question of authorship is no easy problem. There is a strong and consistent tradition in the early church that Matthew was the author. This tradition is confirmed: (1) by the conclusive evidence, furnished by the contents, that the writer of this Gospel was a Jewish Christian emancipated from Judaism; (2) by the improbability that so important a book would have been attributed to so obscure an apostle without good reason;(3) by the likelihood that a publican would keep records; by the modest way in which the writer speaks of the feast given by Matthew to Jesus". (ch.9:10 of Luke 5:29). "On the other hand, many scholars feel that internal evidence makes it difficult to accept this tradition of the Early Church. Matthew reproduces about 90 percent of the subject matter of Mark in language very largley identical with that of Mark. Now it is highly improbable that an apostle would have used as a major source the work of one who in all likelihood had not been an eyewitness of the ministry of Jesus. Papias, bishop of Hierapdis in Phrygia, writing C. A. D. 140, may provide a key to this problem. Eusebius (H. E. iii. 39, 16) quotes him as saying,"matthew collected the logia(sayings, or oracles) in the Hebrew language, and each one

6 interpreted them as he was able. This brief sentence is probably to be interpreted as follows. The Apostle Matthew (C.A.D 50) wrote down Jesus, saying in Aramaic. These sayings, with a brief frame of historical narrative were translated into Greek and thus constituted the document that scholars designate by the symbol (for German Quelle, source). This document and material from Mark and other sources were woven into what is now our First Gospel. By this hypothesis, The name Matthew, originally attached is the Aramaic source of Q, was transferred to the whole work which had incorporated it." (The Westminster Dictionary of the Bible by John D. Davis, Phd., D,LL.D., late professor of OldTestament Literature, Princeton Theological Seminary Revised and Rewritten by Henry Snyder Gehman, Phd., S.T.D Professor of Old Testament Literature and chairman of the Department of Biblical Literature Princeton theological Seminary and Lecturer in Semitic languages, Princeton University London and New York.

X:ì ~[ÂÏZ~{g!* ÆgZÅ - "Like the other Gospels the Fourth does not mention the writer's name but both internal and external considerations lend some support to the traditional belief that the work was written by the Apostle John.....It must be stated, however, that many scholars today do not feel the cogency of the above reasoning. They believe that the author of the Fourth Gospel was distinct from John the apostle, who was the witness to whose testimony the author and his followers appeal (John 19:33;21:24) The Evangelist (The author Proper) was, according to these Scholars a disciple and follower of John the son of Zabedee (the apostle) and wrote from the reminiscences and the teaching of his master, an eyewitness. His name is either unknown to us or, more likely, was John the presbyter or Elder(cf.11 John I and III John I). Thus though the Apostle John was responsible for the Gospel, it was actually written by the pen of another; it is according to this view 'the Gospel of John the Elder according to John the Apostle'."

His introductory formula, 'Peter says in his epistle,' implies that he recognised only one epistle as by Peter. He may have known only one epistle under Peter's name. Conceivably, however, he knew II Peter but rejected its authenticity. Contemporary leaders in the west, such as the author of the Muratorian canon, Tertullian, and Cyprian were similarly silent regarding II Peter. Clement of Alexandria was an Eastern contemporary of these Western leaders. Eusebius says that in his Outlines clement gave 'Concise explanations of all the canonical scriptures,' including 'disputed' writings such as 'Jude and the Apocalypse known as Peter's. His statement clearly implies an acquaintance with II Peter. Clement's extant writings, however, contain no quotations from II Peter and reflect no acquaintance with it. The earliest explicit reference to II Peter is made by Origin (AD ). He says that Peter 'left only one epistle of acknowledged genuineness'. Without trying to account for or refute current scepticism about the authenticity of a second epistle under Peter's name, he says simply, 'This is doubtful'. Eusebius (ca AD.325) included II Peter in his New Testament with the other Catholic epistles. He recognized, however that its canonization, was the outcome of its being 'read in public in most churches' rather than the result of any certainty of its authorship by Peter. Only I Peter he says, is recognised 'as genuine and acknowledged by the elders of olden times.' II Peter is used 'along with the other scriptures' despite the tradition that 'it was not canonical.' The Judgement prevailing in the Church caused Eusebius to describe II Peter as disputed, nevertheless familiar to the majority.' Athnasius and Augustine both recognized II Peter as canonical. Neither says anything about its authenticity. Essentially the same position is taken by the third council of carthage(ad.397). Jerome at about this time expressed the Judgement that Peter 'wrote two epistles which are called Catholic.' "Because of differences in

7 style, however, he says that II Peter is considered by many not to have been by him." The epistle names Peter as its author. Its message is said to be from 'Simon Peter, a Servant and apostle of Jesus Christ.'(I:I) This ascription is further emphasized by the authors allusion to Jesus prediction of Peter's martyrdom (I:14:cf. John 21: 18-19), his claim to have been with Jesus 'on the holy mountain' on the occasion of the Transfigurations (I:17-18 cf. Matth. 17:5, Mark. 9:7; Luke 9:35) and his implicit reference to I Peter as also written by him(3:1) This Zeal of the epistle for its own authenticity creates more doubt than confidence and other data fail to support its claim. Differences in style from I Peter create insuperable difficulties for the new that the two epistles have a common author. Although both are probably pseudonymous, a strongest case can be made for the authenticity of I Peter. The possibility of Petrine authorship is definitely eliminated by data which locate the second epistle in the second century:(a) the incorporation of Jude as its second chapter;(b) the authors implicit classification of himself with a generation to whom the fathers' were known by tradition (3:2,4); (c) the recognition of Paul's letters as scripture(3:16);(d) the allusion to heretical misuse of Paul's letters(3:16) Because he felt he wrote in Peter's spirit, this unknown Christian leader of the second century felt justified in attributing what he wrote to Peter that this was legitimate by current literary standards is shown by the titles of other second-century such as the Gospel of Peter, the Acts of Peter, the teaching of Peter and the Preaching of Peter. Peter symbolized original and authoratative christaianity.by his authority, therefore,our author condemned heresy.(the Interpreters Bible New York, A bingdon Press Nashville.

This is plain from a careful reading of the Old Testament itself; the recently discovered Dead Sea Scrolls corroborate the already well established fact that as an ethical teacher Jesus gave his hearers a massage, which, however powerfully presented and convincingly demonstrated was not so distinctive as to be accounted a novel. In his ethical teaching Jesus in many ways highly conservative. True, he emphasised certain elements in the now rich Jewish tradition and disapproved of certain tendencies he noted in his development but this would be trueof any teacher worth listening to."(the Bible in making p.24.by Geddes Macgragor) P G ]! : Rev.Charles Francis Potter (ãrw[z),ièszcåm% Z "Moreover,it is extremely embarrassing to read the best part of the Sermon on the mount,for instance, in the Enochan and other similar Essene writings, such as Jubilees, the Psalms of Solomon, and the Testamant of the twelve Patriarchs, when we have found actual pre-christian manuscripts of them in Cave 4."
