An Exegesis of 1 Tim 2:11-15 and 1 Corinthians 14:33-40
A Biblical Theology of Women in Ministry

“When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?”
-John Maynard Keynes, responding to an accusation of inconsistency
While I was in college many years ago, I could never get myself to say it. I didn’t have the
guts to come right out and tell my ministry partners and friends that I did not believe that
women should teach men in religious settings. Whether in a dorm Bible study or from the
pulpit, I thought that a woman shouldn’t have a leadership position over any man in the
fellowship. But a position like this wouldn’t be popular with the ladies, a not-so trivial thing
for a single college male. So I kept it to myself.
