Johannine literature is the collection of New Testament works that are attached by tradition to the person of John the Evangelist. The collection is usually considered to include:
- The Gospel of John
- The First Epistle of John
- The Second Epistle of John
- The Third Epistle of John
- The Book of Revelation
The five works show some similarity in imagary, but differ greatly in style and presentation. Some biblical scholars reject entirely the idea of a unified corpus of Johannine literature, whereas others see the works as the product of an early Christian community with links to John the Evangelist.
