Survey of fictional works on the Beloved Disciple in the Gospel of John.

Overview

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.
