John of Patmos is the author of the Book of Revelation, traditionally identified with Jesus' disciple John.
Overview
John of Patmos is traditionally identified with "the Beloved Disciple" of the Fourth Gospel and Jesus' disciple "John son of Zebedee". However, there is no reliable corroboration of these notions from ancient sources. More likely, it seems, is the belief that the Gospel and the Epistles and the Revelation all flow from a 'Johannine School' of theology. R. Alan Culpepper is perhaps the best known representative of this line of thought.
