The book of Revelation ( I see that you correctly used the singular ) was written by John on the isle of Patmos. It was written before the gospel of John and before several of the new testament books.

∙ 14y agoThis is a debatable question. The traditional answer is John the Apostle. However, stylistic and theme variations between the Gospel of John and Revelation cause some modern folks to doubt this. Sometimes the authorship is ascribed to a disciple (or group of disciples) who were followers of John - John's school, or close friends, if you will. Others have suggested it was s person named John the Evangelist and yet others go with a John of Patmos (Patmos being the place where it was supposed to be written).

God "authored" the information, passed it on to Jesus, who then angelically relayed it to John, who physically wrote it down for our benefit.
