Excerpt from Judas Iscariot the Author of the Fourth Gospel, Which Is Ascribed to St. John I believe Judas Iscariot was the author of the book of St. John, the fourth gospel; also the author of the three epistles ascribed to John. The history of the New Testament shows that the authorship of the book of John is in doubt, although a majority of the early fathers as eribe this book to him, but a careful study of the book shows that John could t have been the author.
