The lowdown:
1. There is a new book coming ...MJ,<br /><br />The lowdown:<br /><br />1. There is a new book coming out on John 7:53--8:11, one of the most disputed texts in the NT.<br /><br />2. The book is based on papers given at a conference at Southeastern Baptist Seminary in Wake Forest, NC in 2014.<br /><br />3. The book is expensive, much more expensive than a 2008 book based on a conference at the same seminary on the ending of Mark (Mark 16:9-20) a few years ago.<br /><br />4. One contributor, Larry Hurtado, a well known and respected academic scholar, contributed an article to the book and had some interesting things to say on his blog challenging the general academic consensus on how the NT supposedly developed (though he certainly does not support the traditional or confessional text).<br /><br />Clear as mud?<br /><br /> Jeffrey T.

I noticed that he had also posted on the ever receding recension theory, also. https://larryhurtado.wordpress.com/2016/04/07/the-retreating-claim-of-an-early-nt-textual-recension/<br /><br />I have never been convinced that the PA was suppressed in the earliest manuscripts. I can't see why it would have been,nor to I believe that the early copyists would have done such a thing. Perhaps more likely to me is that it was part of the oral tradition that was associated with John. But, as a believer in the pews today, it strikes me as a story that has all the earmarks of authentically about Jesus as John would have told it. it is not hard to imagine that earlier Christians would have felt the same. <br /><br />I dropped you a note to your church email address re: the Dungan book.
