The Gospel of the Beloved Disciple A Work in

"Could the Beloved Disciple of the Gospel of John be Mary Magdalene? Might the disciple be Peter, John, the son of Zebedee, or could it be the author of the Gospel? For years scholars have argued that two editions of the Gospel of John circulated in the early centuries of Christianity. In The Gospel of the Beloved Disciple, Herman Waetjen makes new contributions to this ongoing conversation."--BOOK JACKET.
