Warning: OT data consists mostly of examples, not direct teachings, making it difficult to derive rules.

The NT has direct teaching; the OT must be harmonized with it for a comprehensive view.

Summary conclusion so far: husband's authority is pre-fall and part of God's design, but it should not limit women's dominion over creation.

Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

Both egalitarians and complementarians can learn from surveying OT women in leadership; complementarians tend to minimize these women.

Setting up the survey of OT examples

John Piper John Piper Deborah complementarianism
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

Some complementarians believe women shouldn't have authority over men in any sphere — marriage, church, or society.

Describing the range of complementarian views

complementarianism patriarchalism three spheres of authority
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

The worst complementarian approach is to ignore OT women; egalitarians tend to maximize and stretch the data, exemplified by Linda Belleville.

Critique of both sides' handling of OT evidence

Aimee Byrd claims Huldah canonized the Torah by her prophecy — Mike calls this utterly ridiculous stretching.

Example of egalitarian over-reaching

Huldah Aimee Byrd Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

The OT records events in a very patriarchal culture — leaders are almost always men.

Initial perspective for approaching OT evidence

Old Testament women patriarchal culture
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

God may use male leaders because it reaches the culture, not because He requires it; but the 'culture card' needs textual support.

Hermeneutical principle for cultural arguments

hermeneutics Paul culture card
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

Counter-cultural examples like Deborah are strong evidence; but clear teaching (like on priests) is even better.
