Corrie,

Yes, MacArthur believes that all men are in authority over all women. The husband of course has more authority than the rest of the male population because the husband has an intimate relationship with her, but yes, he does believe that every man’s role is a role of authority over every woman. When one listens to all of the teaching on women coming from John MacArthur, it comes down to the man having the role of a mediator between woman and God. I don’t think I have ever heard him use this word to describe the role but in essence that is what it is.

Yes, I do go into the 1 Corinthians 11 passage concerning God’s glory and man’s glory in my DVD series. I think you will find it enlightening.
