The Ryland Papyrus P52 takes its name because it belongs to John Rylands library. It was acquired in Egypt in 1920 by Bernard Pyne Grenfell; probably comes from ancient city of Oxyrhynchus and remained unnoticed until 1934.
It was first released in 1935 by Colin Robert, who identified it as part of Chapter 18 of the Gospel of John; the front side contains verses 31 to 33 and the reverse verses 37 and 38.
On the basis of its close resemblance to the Fayum papyrus 110, of the year 94 AD and the papyrus of London 2078, which is a private letter of the time of Domitian, from ~ 96 A.D. the papyrus has been dated between 100 and 120, about 5 to 15 years after the death of the Apostle John.
The importance of the P52 is great because it belies the argument of the critics who argued that this gospel was composed later than 150 AD, and said it had been written much after the events by a community which had reflected their own view of Christ.
