What unique details does John carry that the other Gospels don't?
When was the Gospel of John written?
John constantly emphasizes the hour of Jesus, the bread of life discourse, the "I Am" sayings, a passion emphasis, and a longer last supper account. His Gospel is a sacramental Gospel, shown through Jesus's actions and words. His is also a supplement to the synoptics, i.e., he fills in gaps where the synoptics don't cover.
There is also a primacy of Peter in John's Gospel as the primary shepherd on earth. John references himself as the "beloved disciple" which allows him to invite us into his place and see ourselves in the Gospel story. His Gospel is the most theological. John's Gospel has an appendix (added likely after it was written).
The dating of John could be pre 70 AD but has to be at least by 100 AD.
