Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote.

It's a rigorous and much needed reassessment of a passage long used to silence women in the church.\" \u003cb\u003e- Publishers Weekly Starred Review, July 2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandra L.
