The divinity of Christ.

John 20:30, 31 - And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. [NKJV]

What are the date authorship and main themes in John's Gospel?

The Gospel of John was the last gospel to be written and is dated to early in the second century. Scholars now say that this gospel was inspired by Luke's Gospel, which was written around the end of the first century and which was, in turn, based on Mark's Gospel, written approximeatly 70 CE.John's Gospel was originally written anonymously and only attributed to the disciple whose name it now bears later in the second century, when the Church Fathers were attempting to decide who probably wrote each of the gospels. It was suggested that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', who only appears in John's Gospel, was probably the disciple John. It was then decided that the failure to name this disciple was modesty on the part of the author, and therefore the author was John himself. This is rather unsound reasoning and unlikely to be true, particularly as the Gospel was written decades after the last disciple would have died. Thus we do not know who the real author was.The key theme of John is the life and divinity of Jesus. In fact, this is the only New Testament gospel that actually states that Jesus was divine and pre-existing. There are two secondary themes that have been identified by the biblical scholar Elaine Pagels. One is 'Doubting Thomas', a theme that seems to intentionally diminish the standing of the disciple Thomas, perhaps because a community that venerated Thomas was an important competitor or critic of the Johannine community. Another key theme is the primacy of the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' over Peter. Whenever they are seen together, the disciple always outdoes Peter in some way.Answer:Traditionally, John's Gospel is dated toward the end of the first century (A.D. 85 or later). More recently, some scholars have suggested a date as early as the 50s and no later than 70. The author is the apostle John, son of Zebedee. After John's prologue, the main themes are:The beginning of Jesus' ministry.Jesus' public ministry; signs and disclosures.The Passion week.The Resurrection.The statement of purpose and finally, the epilogue.
