A Discourse Analysis of 1 Timothy 2:8–15

Reading 1 Timothy 2:8–15 Closely Paul’s words in 1 Timothy 2:8–15, “I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over men in the church,” continue to generate a lot of discussion, in large part because of their significant relevance for men’s and women’s roles in the church.
