"THE PERICOPE OF THE WOMAN CAUGHT IN ADULTERY:
AN INSPIRED TEXT INSERTED INTO AN INSPIRED TEXT?"
by SCOTT J. KACZOROWSKI
Abstract: The textual evidence concerning the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery is examined. The conclusion is reached that it is not original to John's gospel. The historicity and canonicity of the account is then examined with the suggestion offered that the account may be historical and may even be an example of an inspired text inserted into an inspired text.
If this conclusion is true, it opens the door to the account being used in the devotional, doctrinal, and doxological life of the church.
Key words: John 7:53–8:11, Pericope adulterae (canonicity of, textual history of), canonicity, textual criticism, Gospel of John, woman taken in adultery, textual criticism of Gospel of John
