Paul, Women, and the Bible

The writings of Apostle Paul have been the source of considerable controversy. How would Paul have sounded in a 21st century setting? Would his instructions have been more likely to suppress or advance the cause of women in his audience? Join The Salon featuring renowned scholar and theologian Professor Craig Keener of Asbury Theological Seminary.

Historically, a salon was a gathering, often in a beautiful home with a skilled host, for conversation and the consideration of art and ideas. Like a tavern or café, it was where cultural, literary, philosophical, and political movements began and continued. It is an intimate place for discussion and the shaping of public values. With expressions in 16th century Italy, 17th century France and 19th century Britain, salons were gatherings around the exchange of ideas. They held, in common, respectful (though often heated and vigorous) conversation, careful consideration, an openness to something new and impactful in the public sphere.
