St John the Divine: John of Patmos (also called John the Revelator, John the Divine, John the Theologian; Greek: Ἰωάννης, romanized: Iōannēs) is the name traditionally given to the author of the Book of Revelation. Revelation 1:9 states that John was on Patmos,[1] a Greek island where, according to most biblical historians, he was exiled as a result of anti-Christian persecution under the Roman emperor Domitian.[2][3] Nicolas Poussin's Landscape with Saint John on Patmos (1640) Christian tradition has considered the Book of Revelation's writer to be John the Apostle, purported author of the Gospel of John. A minority of senior clerics and scholars, such as Eusebius (d. 339/340), recognize at least one further John as a companion of Jesus, John the Presbyter. Some Christian scholars since medieval times separate the disciple from the writer of Revelation.[4][5]
