Bespoke Epistles: Part 2

This is part of a series on patriarchy, headship, and submission. See this index. Once upon a time, on June 21, 2017, Dalrock posted an article entitled “Straining out gnats” (PDF) in which he discussed 1 Timothy 2:12 with respect to women teaching and holding authority. For the first time, I …

This is part of a series on patriarchy, headship, and submission. See this index. NOTE: This is a partial repost of the thread of comments I made at the Deepstrength blog in 2019. I am reposting it here, with additional modifications and expansions. Many view what I do as an …
