Authorship of John, Part 5: Muratorian Canon

from The Lydia McGrew Podcast · host Lydia McGrew Podcast

Does the Muratorian Canon imply that John, the author of the Fourth Gospel, was not a member of the twelve? Here I reply to Richard Bauckham's strained argument to that effect.I briefly mention the "orthodox Johannophobia" thesis at the beginning of the video. Here is Charles Hill's (unfortuately expensive) book that addresses it: https://www.amazon.com/Johannine-Corpus-Early-Church/dp/0199264589I also discuss it and much more in The Eye of the Beholder: https://www.amazon.com/Eye-Beholder-Gospel-Historical-Reportage/dp/1947929151Now available from Logos Bible Software:https://www.logos.com/product/416637/the-eye-of-the-beholder-the-gospel-of-john-as-historical-reportage
