Thanks for establishing the context of these letters. I actually wondered if the dispute had more to do with Paul’s inexplicable demands about dumb stuff like head coverings and women being silent in church. Now I’m wondering if women challenged him and those terrible verses were his “solution” to quiet his opposition.
Hey, thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I actually have a whole podcast series on women in the NT that deals with those passages. It’s not quite as you think it is.
