John of Patmos is the author of the Book of Revelation.
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 Culpepepper is perhaps the best known representative of this line of thought.

John of Patmos in literature & the arts
In 1996 a video titled St. John in Exile was produced, starring Dean Jones. In the same year, a musical CD titled In the Isle of Patmos, by Stamatis Spanoudakis, was also released. In 2010 St. John at Patmos: A Sacred Poem by William Eaton Rusher was published.
Aside from these artistic 'readings' of the figure of John of Patmos, there have been no shortage of fictional renderings in book form. Most famously, Studies in the Apocalypse of John of Patmos A Non-Interpretive and Literary Approach to the Last Book of the New Testament by Edyth Hoyt (Hardcover - 1950). This volume has gone through a series of iterations and all of them not of a scholarly nature.
