How were the Johannine books of the New Testament received by
second-century Christians and accorded scriptural status? Charles
E. Hill offers a fresh and detailed examination of this question.
He dismantles the long-held theory that the Fourth Gospel was
generally avoided or resisted by orthodox Christians, while being
treasured by various dissenting groups, throughout most of the
second century. Integrating a wide range of literary and
non-literary sources, this book demonstrates the failure of several
old stereotypes about the Johannine literature. It also collects
the full evidence for the second-century Church's conception of
these writings as a group: the Johannine books cannot be isolated
from each other but must be recognized as a corpus.
