Miriam R. Alejandrino, O.S.B., “Paul: A Misogynist?,” examines various biblical texts to determine Paul’s attitude towards women. She explains that such texts as 1 Cor. 7; 11:2–16; Col. 3:18–4:1; Eph. 5:21–6:9; 1 Tim. 2:8–15; and Titus 2:1–10, which seem to depreciate the role of women in the family and the early Christian community, need to be interpreted within the historical and socio-cultural contexts, norms, and conventions of the time. – from the Editor’s Preface
