pearwaldorfHa! Evangelical group challenges claim of a biblical basis for male leadership
Much of the debate swirls around the New Testament teachings of Paul, with egalitarians saying that some verses referring to specific situations have been inappropriately universalized, and that verses about wives submitting to husbands must be seen in the context of teachings about Christians submitting to one another.
"Paul taught mutual submission; he doesn't mean that women are always submissive," says John Kohlenberger III, an evangelical author of biblical commentaries and reference books.
