Actually, Gengwall, I found Payne’s “middle egalitarian arguments about 1 Tim 2 being situational to Ephesis alone and not universal” to be quite persuasive. Among the arguments was a detailed examination of the word “permit” in koine Greek and why it almost always referred to a temporary, situational restriction– particularly when it is in first person indicative tense, as it is in 1 Tim 2:13.
