This is a volume of cross-disciplinary essays focused on the
enigmatic story of the woman taken in adultery (John 7.53--8.11).
Explorations of the background, history and interpretation of the
passage are offered, including investigations of the adulterous
woman motif in Old Testament, New Testament, rabbinic, patristic
and mediaeval writings. There are also treatments of the motif as
it appears in other cultural expressions, such as Nathaniel
Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter, and assessments of the theme's
significance for contemporary theologies, in particular for
feminist and pastoral approaches. The contributors represent a wide
range of professional and ecclesiological backgrounds.
