Paul's letters stand at the center of the dispute over women, the church, and the home, with each side championing passages from the Apostle. In his challenging study of these thorny texts, Craig Keener delves deeply into the world of Paul and the other apostles, taking biblical texts seriously and explaining how Paul's letters arose in a specific time and place for a specific purpose. Mining the historical, lexical, cultural and exegetical details behind Paul's words about women in the home and ministry, Keener provides us with a highly insightful exposition of the key Pauline passages.
