Craig Keener's cloth covering egalitarian view

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 01:06:32 – 01:09:06

Mike presents the fifth interpretive approach.

Keener agrees with the traditional view on several points: it's about cloth coverings (not hairstyles), Paul presents four basic arguments (home order, creation order, nature, church custom), and gender distinctions are good. He thinks it's primarily about married women. But he disagrees that it teaches male authority. If kephale means authority, it's purely cultural authority. The passage is about not distracting people during worship, not about submission.
