The First Epistle of John is believed to have been written in the same community as the Gospel of John. Because the books were later attributed to the apostle John, this community is commonly referred to as the Johannine community. 1 John was written shortly after the Gospel and reflects a split in the Johannine community. It appears that at this stage, one group chose to join community more closely aligned to the synoptic gospels, while those who remained drifted into a more Gnostic form of belief.

Give an account of the circumstances which led to John's return to Mananwaka?
Schoalrs believe that 1 John was written soon after the Gospel of John, and therefore early in the second century. A minority opinion is that 1 John preceded John's Gospel, but this would still date it at the beginning of the second century. 2 John and 3 John appear to have been written somewhat later, by the same author as 1 John. Thus, Third John can be dated to around 120-150 CE.
