I'm continuing the topic of women in the church and how historically, the church's view of woman has been harmful and abusive. It's not a good track record. This is the fourth of four episodes that I brought over from our Grace Cafe podcast to share with you here. In this episode we talk about headship and submission. We use 1 Corinthians 11 and Ephesians 5 as the backdrop for our conversation and why we believe Paul's use of the word "head" (κεφαλὴ) wouldn't have meant authority or leader to the readers of his day.  Here are a couple of online articles that you might want to take a look at. The second one is more detailed and contains a lot of good references. Inclusion here doesn't imply our agreement with everything in the articles, but they are a good thought-provoking read.'Head' Does Not Mean 'Leader' in 1 Cor 11.3, by Ian Paul -  https://www.psephizo.com/biblical-studies/head-does-not-mean-leader-in-1-cor-11-3/What About the Word Kephale ("head") in the New Testament?, by Laurie Fasullo - https://www.searchingtogether.org/kephale.htmEnjoy!-------------- Other Places You’ll Find Me: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@unsundayshowThe Grace Cafe Podcast: https://www.gracecafepodcast.com
