Chatter in the Sanctuary

The almost unanimous verdict of church fathers was that women should be silent in church, based primarily on two passages in 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy. Yet in spite of this, evidence from the first two centuries of the church demonstrates that may women were not only quite vocal but held leadership positions that involved teaching and the exercise of authority. "Chatter in the Sanctuary" examines the relevant Bible verses from the perspective of difficulties in translation, historical and biblical evidence for women in leadership, the background of Greece and Rome and the influence of Gnostic teaching to reveal the shift in attitudes that took place during the first centuries of the church's existence.
