What Eve Did, What Women Shouldn't Do: The Meaning of Authenteo in 1 Timothy 2:12

  • Technical
  • Andrew C. Perriman

This article argues that careful lexicological investigations in 1 Timothy 2:12 have undermined the traditional interpretation of "authenteĊ" ("to have authority over") and brought to light various shades of meaning, without demonstrating their relevance to the passage. The argument of this paper is that if closer attention is paid to the structural and figurative character of the passage, the result is a reading that takes into account both the proper sense of "authenteĊ" and the particular social context and circumstances of the apostle's message.
