Public Roles for Women in the Pauline Church: A Reappraisal of the Evidence. Sigountos, J. G. & Shank, M. Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, 26(3):283--295, 1983. abstract bibtex The main consideration in these texts was for a woman to show a "proper" submissive attitude. Since the texts and Pauline theology give no adequate reason why prophecy and prayer are submissive behaviors and teaching is not, the authors turned to ancient attitudes toward women, where a distinction existed between prophecy or prayer and teaching. Prophecy and prayer were permitted, while there existed serious doubts about women's abilities as teachers. Thus the Pauline commands resemble the practices of non-Christians, and Paul's missionary strategy could have provided the rationale for these commands. These texts are an attempt to provide as full a range as possible of ministries for women, without hindering the spread of the gospel. This approach is applied to the issue of ordaining women in the evangelical church.
