The ''Beloved Disciple'' is usually regarded as the author of the Fourth Gospel and identified with Jesus' disciple [[John|John son of Zebedee]] and [[John of Patmos]], the author of [[Revelation]]. However, there is no reliable corroboration of these notions from extra-biblical sources and even the Bible itself never identifies either the 'beloved disciple' nor the author of the Fourth Gospel. Therefore, it is unsafe to equate the Beloved Disciple with John the son of Zebedee, or [[John of Patmos]], or any other known figures. 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.

The Beloved Disciple is a character in the Gospel of John, traditionally identified with John.

  • This page is edited by James E. West, Quartz Hill School of Theology, United States of America.

Overview

The Beloved Disciple is usually regarded as the author of the Fourth Gospel and identified with Jesus' disciple John son of Zebedee and John of Patmos, the author of Revelation. However, there is no reliable corroboration of these notions from extra-biblical sources and even the Bible itself never identifies either the 'beloved disciple' nor the author of the Fourth Gospel. Therefore, it is unsafe to equate the Beloved Disciple with John the son of Zebedee, or John of Patmos, or any other known figures. 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.

The Beloved Disciple in Fiction

Fictional accounts on the Beloved Disciple have usually followed the traditional story of John. However, in recent years, the character seems to have take a life of his own (see, notably, The Beloved Disciple and the House of Hippo (2001 Harwood), novel).

In 2000 James Twyman produced a musical CD which was titled The Order of the Beloved Disciple, with tracks including, 1. Our Lady Of The Universe; 2. The Hail Mary; 3. Ave Maria; 4. Fr. Joso's Prayer; & 5. The Message. John, The Beloved Disciple by Dan Palmer was produced in 2008 and is another musical rendition relating to the Beloved Disciple.

After the pioneering Corpus Christi (1998 McNally), play, the Beloved Disciple has an established status in contemporary gay culture. Jesus in Love (2006 Cherry), novel, and The Gay Disciple (2007 Henson), novel are among the fictional retellings of the Jesus story to present the Beloved Disciple as a young male homosexual.
