Man and Woman, One in Christ

Theology

“Philip Payne’s new book is an extraordinarily well-done study of Paul’s teachings on women’s roles in the church. Payne’s knowledge of the first-century AD background, of New Testament Greek, of textual criticism, and of the theological issues is extensive. His discussion of 1 Corinthians 14:34–35 is outstanding, demonstrating that these two verses are almost certainly an interpolation. I highly recommend this marvelous book. Definitely five stars.”
