Johannine community

The term Johannine community refers to an ancient Christian community which placed great emphasis on the teachings of Jesus and his apostle John.

Their particular Christian practices, rituals, and theology may be referred to as Johannine Christianity.[1] Biblical scholars and historians of Christianity who assert the existence of such a community that drew heavily from Johannine literature in their doctrine include Harold W. Attridge[1] and Raymond E. Brown.[2]
