This book will assist Bible scholars, pastors, and theological students in navigating some of key interpretive issues in 1 Corinthians. The book is one of the most extensive discussions of this challenging New Testament passage on women in the church.

Recenzje

"After decades of debate and libraries of books on the ministry of women, Alex Carr's study shows there are new insights still to be had from examining the biblical texts afresh. Paul, Women, and the Meaning of Silence demonstrates that lexical, literary, historical, and theological factors weigh against Paul's command in 1 Corinthians 14:34 demanding 'absolute silence' of women. Instead, Carr shows that Paul's command enjoins women to temporary silence during a specific time in the church gathering, namely, during the weighing of prophecies. His findings support the authenticity of the text and shed light on the contribution and participation of women in the first century church and today." -Claire S. Smith, Author of Pauline Communities as 'Scholastic Communities': A Study of the Vocabulary of 'Teaching' in 1 Corinthians, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus (2012)
