In Gender Roles and the People of God, author, radio host, and [...]

I have included them below to allow you to determine for yourself the books view on egalitarianism. No words of mine can give more clarity to the inappropriateness of its placement in [...]
Vaticanus Distigme-obelos Symbols Marking Added Text, Including 1 Corinthians 14.34–5
By: Philip B. Payne | September 14, 2017
The two-dot-plus-bar ‘distigme-obelos’ symbols in Vaticanus signal added text. Five characteristic features distinguish their obeloi from paragraphoi.

A gap at the exact location of a widely recognised, multi-word addition follows every distigme-obelos except one with distinctive downward dipping [...]
