The author known as "Mathetes" has had only one text ascribed to them, and is believed to have been writing around the Second Century.

"Mathetes" is not a proper name; it simply means "a disciple." The writer may be a Johannine Christian, although the name "Jesus" and the expression the "Christ" are not present in the text. The author prefers, rather, to refer to the "son" as "the Word."

The only known manuscript of the work ascribed to "Mathetes" was destroyed in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian war. It is probable that the author of the first ten chapters was not the same as that of the last two as it shows evidence of being around a century later in date (Third Century). ...more
