Leon Morris on “Head” (Kephalē) in the New Testament
The (late) esteemed New Testament scholar Leon Morris cautions us to not make hasty assumptions about the metaphorical meaning of “head” (kephalē) in the New Testament.

Dear Dr Grudem, mutual submission is not a myth. Submission is not always, or necessarily, to a person in authority (cf. Eph. 5:21–22).
In this post, I show how the word kephalē (head) is used in 1 Clement, in the context of mutual submission, and I show how the author regarded women.
In 1 Peter 4:12-19, Peter touches on subjects already mentioned in his letter: trials and tests, rejoicing though suffering, being blessed, doing good, and judgement.
Would you like to support my ministry of encouraging mutuality and equality between men and women in the church and in marriage?
