Johannine

[ joh-han-in, -ahyn ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

adjective

of or relating to the apostle John or to the books in the New Testament attributed to him.

First recorded in 1860–65; Johann(es) + -ine ¹

The Johannine discourses reveal differences from the Synoptists so profound as to be admitted by all.

The Fourth Gospel, which had superseded other and older gospels, was generally read in the Johannine churches.

This chapter was added to counteract the Johannine influence and exalt the Petrine teachings so dear to Rome.

The Johannine writings, 285 which presupposed the Pauline movement, are a protest against the hyperspiritualizing tendency.

This is another argument against the Johannine authorship of the Fourth Gospel.
