Incidentally, 1 Tim 2:11-15 is one of the passages I will be discussing in my “Show Stoppers” series of posts. If one depends strickly on a parsed reading of the (mostly horrible) English translations of this passage, one will definately come to the same conclusion that Jay has and it is almost impossible to have any valuable discussion about women in ministry. I believe a main focus of the egalitarian movement should be to clear up the confusion and mis-interpretation of this very important text. If clarity and concensus can not be achieved regarding 1 Timothy 2, it is a “show stopper” in the wider discussion of gender and authority.
