[asa] Gender Roles & Genesis Interpretation

Hi all,

I was pondering the role of women in church with
respect to the New Testament texts (a particularly
thorny question for me, as I don't like the idea of
writing off such texts as merely "the culture of the
time"), and as I reread them, the thought occurred to
me--if we understand Genesis 2 & 3 in
mythological/theological terms, rather than strictly
"literal" or "historical" terms, how then does this
affect our interpretation of (in particular) I
Corinthians 11:2-16 and I Timothy 2: 8-15. And
conversely, how should these NT texts affect our
interpretation of Genesis? Just curious on what your
insights might be into this...thanks!

In Christ,
Christine (ASA member)
