Glare: 'in most cases the sense of the head as being the controlling agent is the one required'

Glare concludes: 'I hasten to add that in most cases the sense of the head as being the controlling agent is the one required and that the idea of preeminence seems to me to be quite unsuitable, and that there are still cases where kephale can be understood, as in the Septuagint, in its transferred sense of head or leader.' Grudem comments this is significant because it comes from 'someone who because of his position and scholarly reputation could rightly be called the preeminent Greek lexicographer in the world.'
