Paul in Conflict with the Veil

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the misinterpretations of biblical teachings regarding gender roles and veiling in 1 Corinthians. Schirrmacher argues that the Corinthians wrongly concluded that women must be veiled while men should not, interpreting Paul's teachings on the relationship between husbands and wives. He presents an alternative translation and detailed exposition of the relevant passages, addressing textual difficulties and discussing the implications for Christian communities regarding women's roles in prayer and attire. The analysis includes quotations, irony, and connections to other New Testament texts.
