| Summary: | Jorunn Økland writes: ‘The thesis of this study is that Paul's exhortations concerning women's ritual roles and ritual clothing in 1 Corinthians 11–14 structure and gender [used as verb] the Christian gathering as a particular kind of space constructed through ritual, a “sanctuary space” ’ (p. 1). Hence the title Women in their Place expresses the centrality of place. In 1 Corinthians 11 Paul is not simply giving practical advice on hierarchical gender roles. ‘Paul veers between well-ordered, stable, gender-hierarchies … and the silent subsumption of female under all-male categories and representations’ (p. 222). Body-of-Christ language, the author insists, defines ecclesia as male. |
