Was Lazarus the Beloved Disciple?

A longish read but an increasingly interesting one. Why are people so certain that the Gospel of John was written by John the son of Zebedee? Love to hear your thoughts on this; (Ben Witherington is a very well known theologian and unlikely to espouse unorthodox views without very strong support for them.)

The thought that grabbed me - that if Ben is correct - then we have a Gospel written by someone who had actually died and been raised again by Jesus...
