Abstract

This chapter dissects one of the most used Bible verses about women in leadership, 1 Timothy 2:11–15. If the words in this passage apply as a timeless command, there would seem to be inconsistencies within the Bible concerning women and leadership. In order to bring clarity, it is critical to look at the text within the context, and it is essential to allow Scripture to interpret Scripture. Therefore, this chapter focuses on what this passage presents through the cultural lens of that time and how that impacts the Church and women leaders today from both the business and ministry worlds.
