Cynthia Long Westfall's use of Galatians 3:28 as an interpretive rule

The Egalitarian "Silver Bullet" Bible Verse: Women in Ministry part 7 00:10:12 – 00:11:16

Mike introduces Westfall's argument as representative of how egalitarians leverage the verse.

Westfall argues that Galatians 3:28 does not override male/female identity from the creation account, but it 'overrides certain theological constructs about the significance of what is differentiated in creation and negates the assumed correlation between the various functions in the church and gender roles.' Mike frames this as making Galatians 3:28 a rule for how you interpret other passages.
