If anything can raise temperatures and stir up rage in the church, it is a conversation about women’s roles. Specifically speaking, a heated debate about Paul’s words regarding women being silent in the church is sure to cause hurt, harm, discord and division. Regardless of which biblical translation you read, there is no way to deny the words written in 1 Corinthians 14:34.

What if there is another way to read and understand this highly controversial text?
