Serving one another in our families: Ephesians 5:21-6:9

Some people call Paul all sorts of names today because they think he wasn’t friendly to women or other groups. But Paul was actually much friendlier to women than many people think. Reading him anachronistically by ignoring the world that he was addressing is bad historical practice (as well as culturally insensitive).

I recently wrote an article addressing this (developed partly from an earlier blog post, partly from an earlier book, and partly from my 1 Peter commentary and from insights in Murray Vasser’s dissertation). It can be found here.
