The apostle John is traditionally credited with having written three epistles, although New Testament scholars say these epistles were unlikely to have been written by John.
The tradition of authorship by John came about because the second-century Church Fathers sought to establish who wrote each of the, previously anonymous, New Testament gospels, and decided that there were clues in the gospel that pointed to John as the author. As three epistles appear to have been written by the same author as the fourth gospel, they therefore attributed these to the disciple John.
Modern scholars say that the gospel now known as John's Gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed, which thus means that John was certainly not the author. And if John did not write the gospel that bears his name, he did not write the Johannine epistles.
Most scholars agree that John the apostle did not write any epistles.
John is traditionally believed to have written the Gospel of John, three epistles (1 John, 2 John, 3 John), and the Book of Revelation in the New Testament.
