Abstract
Only once in the Bible is Jesus represented as writing. This essay focuses on that brief, intriguing episode (John 7.53–8.11) to explore the rhetorical power of writing as apublic performance, the interplay of orality and literacy, the relationship of writing to reflection, and the rhetoric of silence.
