1 Timothy 2: 11-12 has been used as a clear mandate to silence women in the church for over 1500 years.
In What's With Paul & Women? Jon Zens exposes the fallacies of this interpretation, and opens up the meaning of 1 Timothy 2: 9-15 using insights gleaned from the Artemis-saturated Ephesian culture where Timothy was left to stand against false teaching (1: 3).
Going beyond 1 Timothy 2, this book covers the major issues in gender inequality with three Appendices: one on the Ephesian social world in which 1 Timothy was written, another on 1 Corinthians 14: 34-36 and an extensive review of John Piper's What's the Difference? Manhood & Womanhood Defined According to the Bible.
If 1 Timothy 2: 11-12 and 1 Corinthians 14: 34-36 have puzzled you, What's With Paul & Women? will help in your quest to discern the mind of the Lord as the gender debate continues.
