Fishing analogy: egalitarians reel in 'false positives' for women in leadership

Mike uses an analogy to describe the egalitarian evidence pattern.

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

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

In their culture it was embarrassing that a woman beat Sisera — glory to Jael, shame to Barak — but this is not God's commentary against women leaders.

Interpreting the shame in the Barak-Jael narrative

Barak Jael male leadership

Isaiah 3:12 — 'women rule over them' — used by patriarchalists to argue women as rulers is always bad in God's eyes.

Examining a key patriarchalist proof text

Isaiah 3:12 patriarchalism Isaiah 3:12 women as rulers
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

Don't base a view on an unclear passage — Isaiah 3:12 can be explained in either egalitarian or complementarian ways; Mike rejects the Davidic lineage/genetic argument.
