Male violence against women is at shocking levels in South Africa. According to Faul, ‘A  woman is killed by an intimate partner every eight hours, a probable underestimate because  no perpetrator is identified in 20 percent of killings’, whilst ‘More than 30 percent of girls  have been raped by the time they are 18’. Reeva Steenkamp’s killing by her partner, Oscar  Pistorius, came ‘the day before she planned to wear black in a “Black Friday” protest against  the country’s excruciatingly high number of rapes’ (Faul). The purpose of this article is to  reread a key biblical text regarding male violence against women in order to highlight how  Jesus would want us to respond to such violence. The text is John 7:53–8:11. The <em>NRSV: Catholic Edition </em>entitles the story ‘The woman caught in adultery’. However, this title is problematic as it can lead to misleading readings of the text, as I will show, and so I have given it a different title, namely ‘The woman threatened with stoning’
