Attributing it to "St. John" is controversial as well, as contemporary scholarship seems to agree that John of Patmos, the author of Revelation, is not the apostle John.

I don't think "contemporary scholarship" is that monolithic. A lot of those authorship debates seem to me to be based on too little evidence. Some of the arguments I've seen for that position could be used to prove that the Gene Wolfe who wrote the New Sun books is not the same person who wrote the Long Sun books (significant stylistic differences, a large chunk of vocabulary unique to one series or the other, different tehological ideas and concerns, etc.) -Rostrum
