Exegetical Dictionary of the NT (1990): kephale refers to 'hierarchy of God, Christ, man, woman' — sovereignty in Eph 5:23

Male Headship： Is it REALLY Biblical？ Women in Ministry part 8 01:06:14 – 01:07:15

Mike surveys the EDNT.

The Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament (1990) defines kephale as referring to 'the hierarchy of God, Christ, man, woman.' It says in Ephesians 5:23 'kephale is intended to express sovereignty.' Though the authors then argue exegetically for softening this through Paul's later statements in 1 Corinthians 11, their definitional work clearly includes authority. No mention of 'source.'

κεφαλή (kephale) — Logos Clippings (Cheryl Schatz)

A curated collection of Logos Bible Software clippings compiled by Cheryl Schatz examining the Greek word κεφαλή (kephale) and Hebrew רֹאשׁ (rosh). The clippings draw from lexicons, encyclopedias, commentaries, and academic journals to argue that "source/origin" is the primary metaphorical meaning of kephale rather than "authority/leader," with implications for interpreting 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, and Colossians 1.
