1 | Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Morant61 | 123620 | ||
Greetings EdB! I'm not aware of any rule in Greek that mandates mentioning the female first. The only 'rule' seems to be that the more prominent person is mentioned first. For instance, early in Paul's ministry, Barnabas is always mentioned first, but later Paul is mentioned first as he takes more prominence. As far as the 'they' is concerned, 'they' is actually part of the verb 'explained' so she had to have been actively involved in the explaning. If you would like to do more reading on this side of the issue, I would highly recommend Walter Kaiser, Jr.'s book on Paul's difficult passages. While I understand that there is a long history for the traditional view, I also understand that cultural bias can also be a factor for it just as much as PC can be a factor in the newer view! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings EdB! No problem my friend! There is a whole series of books on difficult sayings in the Old Testament, of Paul, and of Jesus. While I don't always agree with the proposed solutions, they usually are well thought out. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
