Authorship of John, Part 10: Hand waving about emphasis

from The Lydia McGrew Podcast · host Lydia McGrew Podcast

In this second-to-last video in my series on the authorship of the 4th Gospel, I discuss a collection of forceless arguments from such things as John's emphasis on Jerusalem, not having "enough" unique stories about Galilee, and not mentioning some people who aren't mentioned in the Synoptics. The argument from not "enough" Galilee stories involves not even accurately counting all the Galilee stories that there are. It's also typical of these arguments that they don't spell out all their premises. Once one actually tries to fill out just *how* these are supposed to support authorship by a non-itinerant Jerusalem resident who wasn't a member of the 12, it becomes clear that they don't have evidential force.
