The Jesus Freaks Will Hate This

[Esquilax]

Peter wasn't anonymous, and the writer of John called himself "the disciple Jesus loved".

None of them ever name themselves in the gospels, nor do they claim to have met Jesus within them. The epigraphs of the gospels were added later according to church tradition and not due to the writers actually being named that. As for the epistles, the scholarly consensus is that they were written by two different authors, neither of them Peter. You can't argue with the facts, here; a little knowledge of biblical history puts the falsity to these intuitive ideas that the names on the gospels belonged to the writers.

So why do I know this, and you don't?
