Keener: kephale means 'source' or if 'authority' then only cultural authority

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 01:09:06 – 01:10:08

Mike details Keener's handling of verse 3.

Keener offers two options: (1) kephale only means source, carrying no authority connotation -- Eve was made from Adam, so Adam is her source. If source, it's transcultural. (2) If kephale does imply authority, it's only cultural authority not something Paul is teaching but dealing with. In either case, no permanent male authority is being established.
