Tom Schreiner's consistent interpretation of glory as 'honor' works for both uses

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 04:27:02 – 04:29:06

Mike presents what he considers the best interpretation of glory.

Schreiner interprets glory the same way all three times (vv.7, 15) as 'honor.' In verse 15, long hair is a woman's glory/honor; dishonor for a man. From this contrast, glory = honor. Woman honors man (as her source) by wearing a head covering showing his headship. Man honors God by not covering. This is consistent with kephale meaning authority in v.3, with the reasons in vv.8-9, and with the usage in v.15.
