In 1 Timothy 2, Paul tells Timothy that he does not allow a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over a man. Today's evangelical egalitarians say that Paul's injunction is very specific to the local context, and is not a general prohibition.

In under 15 minutes, Tim Gallant explains, not only why this modern reading is fundamentally wrong, but also opens up what on earth Paul is talking about when he says that women will be "saved in childbearing."
