Paul, Sex and Marriage

On my own Speaker of Truth blog I have started to post a series What did Paul really say about sex and marriage? 1 Corinthians 7:1-16. So far only the contents and introduction have been posted. This series is in fact a student essay which I wrote nearly 20 years ago, but it is remarkably relevant to recent discussions here and elsewhere about the role of women, and about how to approach such issues.

Update, 14th November: I have now posted the first four parts of this essay, which includes most of what is likely to be of interest now in 2006. Parts 1: Introduction; 2: The Presupposition Pool, 3: The Letter from the Corinthians and Paul’s Response, 4: Discourse Structure of 1 Corinthians.
