This is part of a series on patriarchy, headship, and submission. See this index. See also this index on one commenter’s posts. Among proponents of Christian patriarchy, this passage is one of the four most cited (along with “be silent“, “don’t teach“, and “cover“): It is commonly claimed among these proponents that …

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 …
