Household: Excursus on 1 Timothy (Part 4)
We have looked at the controversial 1 Timothy 2:8-15 passage, but we need to make a couple of more observations about this letter as it concerns fictive family. What I have to say here is frequently not well received by my Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican/Episcopalian friends, nor by some of my more theologically conservative…

Household: Excursus on 1 Timothy (Part 3)
Previously, I took a first pass at interpreting 1 Timothy 2:8-15. I want to reflect on a few more aspects of verses 11-15 in this passage. A Woman Verses 9-10 talk about "women."

Does God have one unique law? Part One (1 Timothy 2:12)
From Women in Ministry: Does God have one unique law? Part One (More cool graphics.) If complementarians are right in their interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:12 then God must have one completely unique law. This “law” forbidding women from teaching the bible to men is not like any other law in the bible. All of…

“Literal translation and literal interpretation” Wayne Leman
From Better Bibles Blog: Literal translation and literal interpretation by Wayne Leman On this blog we sometimes post evidence that literal translation can obscure the original meanings of the biblical texts. This is especially true of translation of figurative language of the Bible. Today Aaron O'Kelley blogged his disapproval of the term "literal interpretation." I…
