To whom did Early church tradition ascribe the Gospel of John?
Like all the New Testament gospels, the Gospel of John was written anonymously.Exactly when John came to be associated with the Gospel is not known. The earliest attestation that these were regarded as having been written by 'John' is found in lrenaeus' Against Heresies, dated about 180 CE. This was the only gospel that mentioned a "disciple whom Jesus loved", and some Church Fathers, in examining the text to establish the disciple's identity, felt that they could rule out all the disciples that the gospel mentioned, except John. A brief sentence in John 21:24 then led to the conclusion that the author of the book was actually the "disciple whom Jesus loved", and therefore John.The Gospel was popular in gnostic circles and may originally have been a gnostic gospel. It was first attributed to Cerinthus, the founder of a gnostic sect.
Why did John write his Gospel and Epistles in the third person?
The gospel now known as John's Gospel was originally written anonymously and only attributed to John later in the second centuries. The Church Fathers noted that only this Gospel ever referred to the "disciple whom Jesus loved" and that this disciple was never referred to at the same time as the apostle John. They decided that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" and John were actually thesame person and that this must have been the author of the Gospel, which they consequently attributed to John. There is no historical reason to believe that the author of this gospel really was John and therefore no reason to believe that he was referring to himself in the third person. The three epistles now attributed to John were written in the first person.

Who wrote Matthew's Gospel and who was he writing to?
A:It is easy to believe that because the book is known as Matthew's Gospel, it must have been written by the disciple Matthew and therefore written by a Jew to his fellow Jews in Palestine. That has been th Christian consensus for centuries. However, although this disciple would have known Aramaic and, possibly Hebrew, Matthew was written in Greek, a strange choice if he wanted to communicate with Palestinian Jews for whom Greek was a foreign language that many would not even have understood, as well as being a symbol of foreign domination. In fact, the attribution to Matthew, and therefore the name 'Matthew's Gospel', comes from the second century. Before then, the gospel was unsigned and anonymous. So we do not know who the author was, nor to whom the author was writing.
