Summary
Jill E. Marshall revisits the question of Paul's views on women's speech in First Corinthians by situating his arguments on prayer and prophecy (1 Cor 11-14) within their ancient Mediterranean cultural context. She examines the differences in how ancient writers, including Paul, described prophetic speech when voiced by a man or a woman, and suggests that issues of gender and prophecy were intertwined in the Corinthian setting.
