I am not sure which thread to put this under, so forgive me if this is the wrong place.
Recently an acquaintance recommended to me several commentaries, one of which is written by a woman theologian. At that I felt myself immediately recoil. I cannot help but feel that this would in a sense put me, a man, under the authority of a woman teacher, which is expressly forbidden in 1 Tim 2.
I understand that this theologian is respected by many. When I read her profile, I find that she does not appear to be ordained, but that she is happy to be a teacher of the next generation of Christians.
Is this a correct way of thinking? I suppose it's my decision. I know that most people I know would call me too hardline.
