Who Wrote The Gospel of John?

 Liberal theologians have categorized the Gospel as myth and not historically reliable, but the external evidence proves that theory wrong.  A look at the possibility of John the Elder being the author was reviewed, but was determined that Eusebius used terms interchangeably.  The theory of a Johannine community authoring the work was looked at, but rejected.  It was rejected because the internal evidence shows that the author was not a minor figure, but someone in the inner circle.  The internal and external evidence support the idea that John the Apostle authored the Gospel.  This was also the belief in the first centuries of the church, and that is highly attested to using writing from the church fathers.  The debate may rage on for some scholars, but the evidence is overwhelming.  The evidence for John is clear.
