Bible study argument introduced: Paul's context in 1 Corinthians 11 and Ephesians does not imply authority

Male Headship: Is it REALLY Biblical? Women in Ministry part 8 00:08:42 – 00:09:12

Mike introduces the third egalitarian argument — the contextual/exegetical claim.

Egalitarians argue that in the direct context of 1 Corinthians 11 and Ephesians where Paul discusses headship, he does not imply authority. They claim 'head' means the man is the source of the woman (as Eve from Adam) and there is nothing in those contexts about authority or submission.
