Introduction to the Gospels

¹
 One minor exception comes around
A.D.
200, when the Roman presbyter Gaius denied the apostolic authorship of the Gospel of John. It is clear, however, that Gaius was not claiming to pass on an independent historical tradition. Rather, he felt that John's presentation of Jesus as "the Word" was problematic (Jn 1:1, 14), and so he ascribed the Gospel to a Gnostic heretic named Cerinthus.

²
 The Book of Hebrews provides a counterexample. Because its author is never identified in the book, and no name is supplied in its title, there was much speculation in the early centuries about who wrote it. No such speculation surrounded the authorship of the four Gospels.
