Hvem skrev bogen om åbenbaringer i bibelen?
apostlen Johannes
Book of Revelation
Forfatteren kalder sig selv "John" i teksten, men hans præcise identitet er stadig genstand for akademisk diskussion. Kristne forfattere fra det andet århundrede som Justin Martyr, Irenæus, Melito, biskoppen af Sardis, og Clemens af Alexandria samt forfatteren af Murator-fragmentet identificerer apostlen Johannes som Johannes i Johannes' Åbenbaring. Moderne forskere har generelt en anden opfattelse, og mange mener, at man ikke kan vide andet om forfatteren end at han var en kristen profet. Nogle moderne forskere karakteriserer Åbenbaringens forfatter som en formodet person, som de kalder "Johannes fra Patmos". Hovedparten af de traditionelle kilder daterer bogen til kejser Domitians regeringstid (81-96 e.Kr.), og beviserne har en tendens til at bekræfte dette.
John the Apostle
Book of Revelation
The author names himself in the text as "John", but his precise identity remains a point of academic debate. Second century Christian writers such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Melito the bishop of Sardis, and Clement of Alexandria and the author of the Muratorian fragment identify John the Apostle as the "John" of Revelation. Modern scholarship generally takes a different view, and many consider that nothing can be known about the author except that he was a Christian prophet. Some modern scholars characterise Revelation's author as a putative figure whom they call "John of Patmos". The bulk of traditional sources date the book to the reign of the emperor Domitian (AD 81–96), and the evidence tends to confirm this.
