Did John know them? Did he use them as sources for his own \""\""spiritual\""\"" gospel? If so, can his eccentricities in using them be explained? In \""\""John Among the Gospels\""\"" D. Moody Smith confronts these questions, describing how the relationship of the Fourth Gospel to the Synoptics has been understood, particularly in modern biblical scholarship. John's difference from the other gospel narratives was recognized by such ancient Christian writers as Clement of Alexandria in the late 2nd century, Origen in the early 3rd century, and Eusebius in the early 4th century, who set the stage for opposing views of John's relation to the Syn.
