Stephen Bedale's 1954 article: the origin of the 'head means source' argument
Mike traces the medical argument back to its scholarly origin.
Stephen Bedale wrote a short four-page article in 1954 titled 'The Meaning of Kephale in the Pauline Epistles' arguing that using the head as a metaphor for authority would be 'unintelligible to Saint Paul or his readers.' According to Bedale, in popular psychology both Greek and Hebrew, a man reasoned and purposed with his heart, not his head. Mike identifies this as the foundational source that later egalitarian scholars built upon.
