Henry, I’m wondering why this pericope has captured the attention of scholars. Is there more to this than a mystery to be solved?
Well, I attended a conference at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary where one of the organizers was Dave Black. I found it very technically interesting, though I didn’t really change my mind about that much. I would still say that it’s good to preach it, but that I don’t think it was originally in its current place in John. The papers from the conference, however, are quite detailed and complex!
The provenance is very uncertain, but the passage has a feel of authenticity.
I love the fact that Jesus sets the woman free before suggesting repentance – which is the reverse of so much preaching.
