Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scholars are divided on whether the prescriptions in 1 Timothy accurately reflect Paul's views on women. Some argue that the pastoral epistles (including 1 Timothy) may have been written by followers or disciples of Paul, rather than Paul himself, and thus may reflect the views of the early Christian community rather than Paul's own views. Additionally, other letters attributed to Paul, such as those to the Galatians and Corinthians, suggest more egalitarian views towards women's roles in the church.
