John's Gospel was the last New Testament gospel to be written. There is good evidence that this gospel was inspired by Luke's Gospel, and it is generally considered to have been written sometime in the first two decades of the second century. The Gospel was apparently written in a closed community, possibly a mildly Gnostic one, and this community is now known as the Johannine Community because of the Gospel's name. However, there is uncertainty as to where the community was located.
Scholars say that 1 John was written shortly after a painful split in the 'Johannine' Community. The author wanted to charge his opponents with being sinners (1 John 1:8-10), but did not want to offer his opponents the promise of forgiveness. First John was written to those members of this community who had decided to join a more centrist Christian movement, and the despised opponents were those who left, to follow a Gnostic Christian path.
