What Paul Really Said About Women: An Apostle's Liberating Views on Equality in Marriage, Leadership, and Love, by John Temple Bristow (TPB, 1991, $2)
Bristow's discovery...
"The words of Paul, the Christian apostle, had their meanings molded to conform to the thoughts of Aristotle, a pagan philosopher who lived five centuries before Paul! And still today, this same Greek philosophy is often preached from Christian pulpits, innocently assumed to be biblical theology.
These discoveries excited me. It was as if the veil described by Thomas Fuller had been lifted from my own eyes, and now I could read afresh the urgent cry from Paul for churches to have women learn, to let them be leaders, to let them have the authority due them, to realize in practice the great truth that 'there is neither male nor female... you are all one in Christ Jesus' (Gal.3:28)"
What do you think of this possibility?
