Neither. The author signs himself as John, so most scholars and many theologians call him "John of Patmos". At some point, Revelation was associated with the writings of the Johannine school, and by tradition with the apostle John, solely because of the common name.
AnswerThe Apostle John was the author of Revelation. The Apostle is the only John that fits the comments made about himself within the text, he was known to be the author from the earliest times, and the vocabulary and context fit with the other books known to be written by the Apostle John. Additionally, there is no good reason to believe that anyone else was the author. Paul is not considered to be the author by any scholar.The Book of Revelation was signed by a person called John, so Paul could not have written it. The book was at one stage attributed to the apostle John, because of the coincidence of name, and in fact was accepted into the New Testament solely because of that attribution. Modern scholars say that the author could not have been the apostle John and simply call the book's author 'John of Patmos'.
The apostle Paul did not write the book of the Revelation.The apostle John, one of the original 12 disciples, wrote this book while exiled on the Isle of Patmos.AnswerThe island of Patmos is very close to the church of Ephesus which John pastored and to which he delivered Revelation after he wrote it. CLARIFICATION: there is no evidence that the apostle John wrote the Gospel of John. In fact there is plenty of evidence that ALL four Gospels of the Bible, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John were written by people not connected with the original 12 and who had never met Jesus.
Answer John was the only Apostle to die a natural death. He was exiled on the Isle of Patmos while writing the Revelation, and was later released at which time he wrote his three epistles. Historical documents indicate that John lived well into his 90's - thus living through the death of all the apostles, including Paul. Cessationists believe that the death of John ended the continuing revelation of Christ to His church.FYI:The day commemorates the martyrdom by beheading of Saint John the Baptist on the orders of Herod Antipas through the vengeful request of his step-daughter Salome and her mother
There were four: Matthew - believed possibly to be Matthew the apostle (although some scholars believe that it was written anonymously under the authority of Matthew Mark - believed to have been written by John Mark, a companion of Paul Luke - written by Luke, a companion of Paul and a non-Jew. Luke was a Greek doctor, born in Antioch. He also wrote the Acts of the Apostles (the book after the gospels) John - written by John the apostle of Jesus.

A:Simply because the Book of Revelation was signed by a person called John, it was decided late in the second century that this must have been the apostle John. Whoever this John was, it clearly was not the author of John's Gospel, as the style and the theology are too different. Nevertheless, after the decision to attribute Revelation to the apostle John, a tradition evolved that the apostle John was exiled to Patmos because he miraculously survived all attempts to kill him. It is never explained how it was possible to exile John anywhere, if his enemies were unable to harm him. There is no evidence that the apostle John was ever on the island of Patmos. Revelation 1:1 states that the Book of Revelation was written by a person called John, and Revelation 1:9 says that he wrote from Patmos, without at any stage saying that he had been exiled to the island. So unless there is proof that he was forcibly restrained, it should be assumed that John of Patmos could leave the island whenever he chose, and return at any time he chose.
Paul John has written: 'Christianity'
There were four: Matthew - believed possibly to be Matthew the apostle (although some scholars believe that it was written anonymously under the authority of Matthew Mark - believed to have been written by John Mark, a companion of Paul Luke - written by Luke, a companion of Paul and a non-Jew. Luke was a Greek doctor, born in Antioch. He also wrote the Acts of the Apostles (the book after the gospels) John - written by John the apostle of Jesus.
The Apostle Paul wrote 2 Thessalonians from Corinth.
The First Epistle to the Corinthians and the Second Epistle to the Corinthians were written by the apostle Paul. The First Epistle of Peter and the Second Epistle of Peter are believed to have been written in Peter's name by anonymous authors, with the second book clearly a second-century work. Mark's Gospel was originally anonymous, but was attributed to Mark early in the second century. This attribution is not accepted by modern scholars. The Book of Hebrews has been attributed to Paul, but even the early Church Fathers realised that it was not an epistle he would have written. It remains anonymous. The Book of Revelation is signed by a person called John. The early Church Fathers disputed who this 'John' really was, and finally decided to include it in case the author was the apostle John. Modern scholars refer to its author simply as 'John of Patmos'.
For starters, they were both written by the Apostle Paul.
