How many books of Revelation are there?
A:In addition to the biblical Book of Revelation, also known as the Revelation of John there was also a Revelation of Peter. After much dispute, the Revelation of John was finally accepted into the biblical canon, largely because it was decided to have been written either by John the son of Zebedee, or John the Elder. The Revelation of Peter was omitted because it was decided that this was not written by the apostle Peter.
What attracted God to the Apostle John as the recipient of the Revelation?
All we know about the Book of Revelation is that it is signed by 'John', who wrote from the island of Patmos. At some point, the Revelation to John of Patmos was associated with the John's Gospel solely because of the common name. Later still, Christian traditions arose as to how the Apostle John must have found his way to Patmos in order to write the book from there.Because of the association with the Apostle John, Revelation was preserved for posterity and given the status of an apostolic writing. Even so, there were doctors of the church who questioned its authenticity and complained about its theology.The second century Roman teacher, Gaius, called Revelation "heretical" and claimed that it was written by John's worst enemy, Cerinthus. The Church Father, Eusebius, called the Book of Revelation 'spurious'.There were not only serious doubts in the early Church as to the authenticity of Revelation, but we now know from analysis of the text that it was not written by the Apostle John at all.
