Authorship: John, the apostle of Jesus.
Date: Around 80-90 A.D.
Audience: Probably Christians living in Roman Asia.
Genre: A simple yet provoking gospel in Koine Greek.
*aha!: Although we don’t know for sure the reason that prompted John to write his gospel, and interesting approach that we can take is that as he grew into old age, he became aware of his unique perspective on Jesus’ life. Significantly, he wrote of several incidents that are missing from the other gospels. Including: the miracles of water into wine, the man born blind, and Lazarus raised, and the teachings of ‘I am’, the new birth discourse, and the upper room discourse, and also the meeting of the Samaritan woman and the washing of the disciples feet.
