From the article: "Scholars including Adele Reinhartz and Robert Kysar have challenged the idea of a Johannine community, and cite the lack of evidence for such a community. 11"
From the linked source: "Adele Reinhartz (2003: 17) – a critic of the hypothesis – concedes that ‘the letters of John seem to demand the existence of such a community’. On the one hand, the very existence of multiple texts sharing ‘Johannine’ ideas and idioms but written by different hands implies a pool of connected writers – a pool upon which the image of a ‘community’ is easily mapped. Secondly, the epistles seem to attest that community in their references to ‘churches’ linked by a ‘network of visits and letters’ (Lieu 2014: 123; e.g. 3 Jn 6, 9, 10)." 11
She is a critic, but apparently she believes the community existed.
