Paul and the Role of Women
Munpreet Virdy
REL-210 – Final Paper
Paul the apostle was born in Tarsus, in the Roman province of Cicilia. ...
At the time of Paul, the Jewish culture was that women received no education. ... Anyhow, Paul’s diverse background resulted in his complex
personality enabling him to be able to get a along with different people of
various backgrounds, male or female.
Paul experienced an unexpected conversion from his original faith to
Christianity when he had an encounter with the spirit of Christ. ...
The epistles Paul wrote differ in many ways from other letters that have been
written. One difference is the way in which he portrayed women. Paul thought
women could make good teachers and role models for other women, teaching
them to love their children and husbands and be sensible and pure. But Paul
also thought that women be allowed to teach men. Other Christian leaders did
not tolerate women as much. The disciples were outspoken in the way they
criticized the fact that Jesus treated women with the respect they deserved.
But then one may argue that in Corinth Paul states that women should remain
silent in Church. This was because the Jewish Christian women of that time
had not been taught to read or write.
