Abstract

In this chapter, Robyn Horner offers important methodological reflections on phenomenology while also examining the function of visibility in John 8:2-11. Horner juxtaposes the visibility of the woman with the “invisability” of Jesus. The text obscures Jesus even as it invites us to look at him. Yet, while Jesus is ungraspable, the woman is extremely visible, perhaps too visible. In the course of the narrative, Jesus transforms the woman’s pornographic visibility into a visible mirror of God’s love and mercy.
