Why did Paul restrict the ministry of women?
In 1 Corinthians 14.34-35, Paul enjoined women to be silent in church, and in 1 Timothy 2.11-12, he forbade them from teaching or exercising authority over men.
Why did he do this?
Some evangelical scholars say that he didn't. They argue that the traditional interpretation of these passages is wrong. They do this on various grounds, exegetical and cultural.
