We pray you were blessed.

Well said. And I think the more powerful narrative is that she could be any of us. I think her name is missing in order to accent her identity as a common sinner caught up in a system of judgement with no way out. She is the person we judge and often the person we are all rolled into one.

I am not sure how many suggest the woman caught in adultery from John 8 is “the woman from whom 7 demons were driven.” That only happens when people equate her with Mary Magdalene (who is actually the woman from whom 7 demons were driven). But in fact, most of the people who see them as one and the same are mostly Hollywood writers and directors who want to show a dramatic character arc, and the subsequent people who are influenced by those films. “The Passion of the Christ” and “The Greatest Story Ever Told” are two such movies which make this identification.

The Bible definitely never identifies the woman in John 8 as Mary Magdalene. The more common misconception is that Mary Magdalene is the sinful woman who anointed Jesus’ feet in Luke 7:36-50, which again has no scriptural basis.

I’ve written about this topic in depth myself on my own website, clarifying all of the myths from the actual Biblical passages.
