Sorry – to sum up then – the quest to find problems with the passage if “the woman” is not Eve, or to try and fit Eve into the passage, while possibly interesting and envigorating, are of little lasting value because “the woman” simpy is not Eve. The grammar proves this. So our quest should be to understand why Paul introduced Adam and Eve and then brought the focus on (or really, back to) this particular Ephesian woman. What is it about Adam and Eve that Paul wants us to see and how does it relate to the situation in Ephesus. OK. Carry on…
