Like "The Gospel of Q", "The Signs Gospel" is entirely hypothetical, and it too owes much to the work of Rudolf Bultmann. He promulgated the theory that "The Gospel of John" was not the authentic document; that John had died before completing it, and that the work was finished by someone else, or possibly several other people over an extended period of time, using John's drafts, and augmenting them with synoptic materials from the other three gospels, as well as oral accounts, especially of Jesus' miracles.
