1 Timothy 3 cannot be explained by women lacking education -- Priscilla was in Ephesus
Mike preempts common egalitarian responses.
1 Timothy is written to Timothy in Ephesus -- the same city where Priscilla was. It's hard to argue that women lacked Christian education in Ephesus when Priscilla was there. Even if Priscilla wasn't there at that exact moment, she couldn't have been the only well-educated Christian woman in Ephesus. The restriction doesn't seem to be because women were uneducated or looked down upon -- it's presented as a requirement.
