Subject: Is this verse relevant today? |
Bible Note: If it wasn't relevant God would not have allowed it to be preserved for us today. Witness the am't of material alluded to in the Bible that wasn't preserved. As others have noted this verse is not about power; instead it is about roles. The best book I have seen on this is Holmes, C. Raymond The Tip of the Iceberg: Biblical Authority, Biblical Interpretation, and the Ordination of Women in Ministry. (Wakefield, MI: Pointer Publications, 1994). |
