(ME: I couldn’t attend this lecture as Tanya was a little unwell, so here’s the outline. Hopefully, I’ll get a copy of it, and will be able to fill in the detail at some later stage)
Introduction
- Jesus and Paul complement each other – no conflict
- Jesus was a man of his age. He was not a contemporary feminist
- Some Jewish men had negative views on women, some did not.
- Jesus subtly subverted the Jewish norms of his day rather than attacking them.
- Jesus said not one specific word on how the church was to be organised.
Jesus as an agent for change
- Jesus subverted hierarchy among his disciples
- Jesus subverted family prioritisation
- Jesus subverted the Jewish purity laws
- Jesus subverted the Jewish androcentric understanding of marriage
- Jesus subverted prevailing social norms on male-female social interaction.
- Jesus subverted circumcision
- Jesus subverted the idea that women could not be factual witnesses.
Twelve male apostles. Do they imply male ‘headship’?
The evangelists
Matthew
Mark
Luke
John

@Jas – nice to touch base bro. Hope all’s well @ Chappo. Yes, let’s definitely have a chat when I’m back (might make for a good study break!).
@Mandy, cheers for the link! … I’ll add it into the post tomorrow. Got to get some sleep before this Soccer game now
See ya in the morn.
