Ardavanis says:
"Both are made in the image of God and bring profound glory to God. Males do not reflect God's image more than females."
Yet he never addresses 1Co 11:7: "For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man." The phrases "glory of man," "glory of the man," and "woman is the glory" never appear in the transcript. He mentions 1 Cor 11 only for women prophesying, then punts: "he talks about this in the realm of head coverings, which we can talk about another time."
Question to press: You said both bring profound glory to God and males don't reflect God's image more. Do you then disagree with the common complementarian reading of 1 Cor 11:7? If the woman IS the glory of God equally, what does Paul mean when he distinguishes? If she is only the glory of man, how can you say males don't reflect God's image more?
