The '''War on the Gospel of John''' is the repeated demoted and downplaying of the [[Gospel of John]] to the point where few [[Christian]]s learn much about this [[Gospel]] any longer, despite initially being the most important one as written by the most beloved disciple of [[Jesus]], [[John the Apostle]]. The most-quoted verses of the [[Bible]] are from the [[Gospel of John]], yet it continues to be marginalized by [[liberal]]s. The demotion of this Gospel hinders [[evangelism]].
The stages in this demotion and marginalization of the [[Gospel of John]] include:
*early dilutions of this Gospel that obscure its powerful strength, including adding an apocryphal, confusing [[John ending]] and the [[Essay:Adulteress Story|Adulteress Story]];
*placing the [[Gospel of John]] last of the four [[Gospels]], which makes no sense as a way of [[Ordering the Gospels]];
*removing its regular use from the liturgy as part of [[Vatican II]] of the [[Roman Catholic Church]], which is followed by other denominations; and
*removing the reading of John's Prologue ("The Last Gospel") from the liturgy
