Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) believes that a split took place in the "Johannine community" that produced the Gospel of John, shortly after the turn of the second century. One faction thought it best to merge with other Christian groups that were evolving towards the future 'Catholic-Orthodox' model. Another party refused, holding to the enlightenment tradition of the community and developed in the direction of a Christian gnosticism.
The Gospel appears to have been written in layers, with the original version written for the integrated community, which was already mildly gnostic. After the split, each party no doubt took the Gospel as its own, but the gnostic faction eventually disappeared from history. The faction that joined what was to become mainstream Christianity amended the original Gospel, making it more acceptable to their co-religionists, and producing the version that has come down to us in the New Testament.

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.

Who were relatives of John the gospel author?
A:The author of the gospel now known as John's Gospel is not actually known. The Gospel was originally anonymous and was only attributed to John, son of Zebedee, later in the second century. However, biblical scholars say that the author could not really have been an eyewitness to the events portrayed in the Gospel, in which case the attribution to John must be erroneous. If John had really been the author of the gospel that now bears his name, then his father would have been Zebedee and his brother would have been James.
