Abstract :
Hypotheses regarding the sources of the Gospel of John are discussed by scholars who have different assumptions regarding editorial revisions of preliminary stages of the canonical text.

Because the fourth evangelist consciously designed an alternative narrative framework, his presentation was revised several times in response to competing concepts, not least with regard to the Johannine character program.
