the apostle John - author of Revelation?

This has not been covered in PBF. Clearly the Gospel of John and the Epistles are the same author, the apostle John. Revelation, which is properly dated to before 70 AD, should be the same author, and has connections with the heavenly witnesses and Johannine style. However, the grammar can be different and there are theories it is a different author. We will try to do solid analysis on this thread.

For now, however, only an outline of some sources.

I think it's clear that whoever wrote John wrote 1 John; whoever wrote 1 John wrote 2 John; whoever wrote 2 John wrote 3 John. Revelation sounds different though, so while I do think John the Evangelist is John the Elder, I don't think he's also John of Patmos.
