No, actually, the current thinking on the subject is that John of Patmos was not the same John of the Gospels. There are lots of reasons for this, primarily in style and how Revelation is put together, in comparison with John’s Gospel. Kinda like the difference in writing styles between Tom Clancy and Steven King.

Get real.
Sometimes an author writes in poetry and sometimes in prose, Isaiah for example.
Sometimes a writer uses narative, sometimes apocalyptic, metaphorical style, Daniel, for example.

Hello, Tom. This is Steven. I have this great idea for a book but I’m still tore up from the car accident. Here is the plot.....(....).... Can you write it for me as a ghost writer? Thanks!
So, who is the REAL author of such a book?
