Modern theologians see three stages in the development of the gospels.
- The life, mission and resurrection of Jesus
- The post-resurrection teaching of the apostles
- The actual writing of the gospels by the evangelists.
Those who look at the development of the gospels in three clear-cut stages often see the third stage as the most important for Christianity, because the gospels are not so much literal histories but reflections on the meaning of Jesus.
Some scholars would not find the three-stage model very useful, because it may encourage assumptions about the linear progression of early Christianity.
the three stages are:
1. events: jesus' life death and resurrection
2. oral tradition:stories about jesus are spread by word of mouth
3. written texts: the good news is written down to preserve it and make it easier to educate the growing number of chistians.

Why does John not mention himself by name in the Gospel of John?
The short answer is that John does not mention himself by name in the Gospel of John because John did not write that Gospel. It was written anonymously and only attributed to John by the Church Fathers later in the second century, when they were attempting to decide who probably wrote each of the New Testament gospels. A slightly fuller anwer is that the Church Fathers, puzzled at the lack of evidence as to who wrote this Gospel, saw that a 'disciple whom Jesus loved' was a key character in this Gospel. They decided that this disciple must be the author, who must have just been too modest to use his own name. They then noted that the apostle John was not mentioned any where in this Gospel, and decided that John was the missing disciple. Thus, on supposition and quite limited evidence, John became the author of the fourth gospel.

Where did John write John's Gospel?
John 20:30-31 30And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31 But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through his name.John wrote to give a theological presentation of whom Christ was and why He came. His purpose was evangelistic in nature. Christ's role as Lord and Messiah is emphasised, and encapsulated in the seven great "I Am" statements. John also wanted to teach the role of the Trinity in salvation. Answer John states his reason for writing his gospel: John 20:30, 31 - And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. [NKJV]Another AnswerSome say that the apostle John wrote the Gospel to correct serious errors in the other New Testament gospels.However, it would be surprising that John waited so long to correct the record. Moreover, the early Church Father, Origen, did not believe that John's Gospel was a more true record, saying (Commentary on John), "although he does not always tell the truth literally, he always tells it spiritually."Further, some scholars say that John's Gospel drew from Luke's Gospel, meaning that it could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events it describes. John's Gospel was originally anonymous, and John was first mentioned in the known record as the author, late in the second century. Others say that John's Gospel was written in response to a debate about who Jesus was.
