Abstract
"There has been a vast proliferation of material regarding the position of women in Christian society. Four distinguishable positions may be identified: (1) Women are subordinate to men and cannot have positions of authority in the Church; (2) women are subordinate to men but may have positions of authority in the Church; (3) women are equal to men and should have positions of authority in the Church; and (4) women are equal to men and should not have positions of authority. Three NT passages specifically deal with this problem: 1 Cor 11:2-16, 14:34-36 and 1 Tim 2:8-15. Three others deal with the principle behind the issue by discussing the husband-wife relation: Eph 5:22-33, Col 3:18,19 and 1 Pet 3:1-7"
