Translation Troubles: 1 Corinthians 14 as a Test Case
By: Jeff Miller | December 5, 2017
The challenging complexity of the ministry of Bible translation should spark humility, among translators themselves and among those who critique them. I pledge to keep such humility in mind as I describe four types of shortcomings that can be found in Bible translations, using 1 Corinthians 14:34–35 as a test case.
Translation Trouble In 1 Corinthians 11
By: Jeff Miller | November 20, 2017
Paul makes a few statements that seem to limit women. Did he intend for these to apply to all women, or only to women among the original recipients?
Is Complementarian Interpretation Of 1 Corinthians 14 Consistent With Practice?
By: Katrina Armas | November 15, 2017
My journey towards egalitarianism began with a search for two things: practicality and consistency. I struggled to reconcile them in the biblical interpretation process, and often felt that one was at odds with the other, particularly in 1 Corinthians 14.
1 Corinthians: Don't Miss The Forest For the Trees

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. Like scribe B's LXX obeloi, all eight distigme-obelos symbols mark the location of added text. A gap at the exact location of a widely recognised, multi-word addition follows every distigme-obelos except one with distinctive downward dipping [...]
The Ministry of Women
By: A. J. Gordon | August 1, 2017
The occasion for writing the following article is this: at a recent summer convention [probably 1893] a young lady missionary had been appointed to give an account of her work at one of the public sessions. The scruples of certain of the delegates against a woman’s addressing a mixed assembly were found to be so [...]
Women’s Leadership throughout Church History: Following the Teachings and Examples of Paul
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | July 23, 2017
Sadly, those who cite Paul as an opponent of women's equality overlook the many examples of women leaders building the church beside the apostle. This workshop will show how 1 Timothy 2:11-15 and 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 are eddies off the stream of Paul’s egalitarian teachings and practices.

By: Cynthia Long Westfall | July 23, 2017
Dr. Westfall briefly introduces her book, Paul and Gender and talks about some of the book's unique contributions, where they came from, and how they impact the interpretation of key passages.
Yielding Personal Authority in a Mutual-Partnership Marriage (1 Corinthians 7:4)
By: Ronald W. Pierce | July 23, 2017
Paul’s words in 1 Cor 7:4 constitute Scripture’s only mention of the common Greek word for “authority” (exousia) in clear reference to husbands and wives. What does his bold statement mean in its biblical context, and what does it say about Christian mutuality in marriage and singleness today?
