Did Paul Really
Hate Women?
Did Paul really teach that women aren’t supposed to
teach men? That they aren’t to preach? That they are to cover their
heads, take off their jewelry, and keep silent in church? That wives
are to “submit” to their husbands? There are few NT passages that
are more controversial than Paul’s teachings about the role of women
in church and in marriage. In this seven-week class, we’ll examine
women in the world of the earliest Christians and take a careful
look at each of the key passages in Paul’s letters, all while
upholding the inspiration and authority of Scripture.
