How much influence did the Fourth Gospel have on the extra-canonical gospels from the second and third centuries CE? Lorne R. Zelyck explores the use and interpretation of the Gospel of John in the Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Mary, Gospel of Judas, Gospel of Peter, and seven other extra-canonical gospels from the second and third centuries CE.
Lorne R. Zelyck explores the influence of the Fourth Gospel on the extra-canonical gospels from the second and third centuries CE, and evaluates how these other gospels used the Gospel of John. First he provides a succinct demarcation of the extra-canonical gospel corpus and introduces a critical methodology for measuring the influence of the Fourth Gospel. Then he measures its influence on the narrative, sayings, and dialogue/discourse gospels. Lastly the author concludes that the majority of extra-canonical gospels indicate a probable or plausible measure of influence from the Gospel of John: they have lengthy and shorter parallels with the Fourth Gospel, quote and exegete this work, and provide traditional interpretations of the Fourth Gospel that are evident in other early Christian literature.
