I Suffer Not a Woman: Rethinking I Timothy 2:11-15 in Light of Ancient Evidence Paperback - 1998

by Richard Clark Kroeger; Catherine Clark Kroeger


From the publisher

Presents scriptural and archaeological evidence which refutes the traditional interpretation used to bar women from leadership.

From the rear cover

"I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."
--1 Timothy 2:12 KJV

This passage troubles those who desire greater leadership roles for women in ministry but who also want to remain loyal to Scripture. Did Paul forbid a woman to exercise her leadership and teaching gifts, or was he dealing with a particular error in the church?

According to I Suffer Not a Woman, Paul was reacting to a specific problem that was sweeping churches: a myth, taught mostly by women, which later became a foundation for gnosticism. This book offers an in-depth look at the Greek text of 1 Timothy 2:11-15 in the context of the Pastoral Epistles and in its historical context. By illuminating the first-century culture of Ephesus, the Kroegers shed light on the ancient world thought patterns Paul faced and offer a responsible alternative understanding of this much debated passage.
