Understanding Paul’s arguments in 1 Corinthians 11-14 on women’s roles in worship and the value of tongues and prophecy has long been challenging. Despite many interpretations, these passages are still puzzling. Lucy Peppiatt offers a fresh reading, suggesting that Paul is addressing the domineering practices of Corinthian male leaders, including forcing women to wear head coverings and silencing married women in church. Her careful analysis brings coherence to the text, showing Paul as a visionary advocating for a new humanity “in the Lord,” urging the Corinthians to prioritize love and restore dignity to women, outsiders, and the poor.
