121: Understanding 1 Timothy 2:11-15 with Rebekah Hargraves (Solo Episode 10)

Rebekah Hargraves is the host of the Home and Hearth Podcast, which, up until recently, has always been mostly an interview-style podcast. Now, however, she is branching out into recording the tenth of her solo podcasts to  piggy-back a bit off the topic of her last few solo shows, which have been on the topic of Biblical womanhood. Today she comes on the show to do a deep dive of 1 Timothy 2:11-15 in the hopes that what she shares today will help equip you to better understand this oftentimes confusing passage. What She Chats about in Today's Episode: ~The cultural, historical, and biblical context of 1 Timothy 2:11-15 ~What the whole canon of Scripture has to say about women teaching men ~Answering the claim that women are more easily deceived ~The problem in Corinth of women being uneducated, and how Paul sought to do away with this problem ~Understanding 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2 in light of 1 Corinthians 11 ~What 1 Corinthians 14 has to say that sheds a light on 1 Timothy 2 ~The problem of chaos in the churches ~The importance of allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture (and allowing Paul to interpret Paul!) ~The interesting Greek word translated "authority" in this passage, and why it's important to understand ~Shedding light on the "saved in childbirth" claim in verse 15 ~Recommended resources for further study ~And more!
