This is part 1 of a talk I gave recently which looks at Paul’s overall theology on ministry and the verses often used to limit women.
One reason I believe 1 Tim. 2:12 and 1 Cor. 14:34 were ad hoc regulations addressing local problems is because of a Greek verb found in both verses.
Some people are still using 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 to silence all women in church meetings. Here is my quick take of these two verses.
Here are summaries of a range of interpretations of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 proposed by well-known New Testament scholars. How do these verses apply today?
Would you like to support my ministry of encouraging mutuality and equality between men and women in the church and in marriage?
