For an egal, he is actually more comp in his exegesis than the comps are!
He believes the current brand of comps like CBMW have departed from the true historical understanding of 1 Tim 2:14 without any good reason. He agrees with Kostenberger and Schreiner’s understanding of 1 Tim 2:9-15 except for v14 where he thinks they have watered down the traditional understanding to accommodate our present understanding that women are not more easily deceived than men.
Webb does not believe that women are more easily deceived today, but that they were in biblical times due to lack of education, social exposure, age when they got married etc. So he maintains a traditional exegesis but ends up with an egal application. He believes a current application of the text would be to choose leaders (whether male or female) who are not easily deceived.
