Hello!
I somehow got to read an alternate translation and interpretation of 1. Corinthians 11,2-6 by Thomas Schirrmacher who (as far as I know) also published a book on this issue.
I wanted to ask you..
..if you know his argumentation?
..if so, if you think it is a possible reading or heretical?
And if you never heard of this, please let me know, I could try to translate a tract on it into English language so that we can discuss this issue here. I did not do so yet, because I thought it might be already well known here, but I will if this should not be the case.
The main result of his exegitical work is the following:
In 1.Cor 11,2-6 Paul does not promote, but fight against the "pagan", (and already existing) practice of covering the head with a veil in church (for women).
I would really like to discuss this here for I think it is an interesting topic.
Thanks
Simon
Edit: I posted this in the Lifestyle forum because I thought the reading has consequences for Christian lifestyle, if some moderator think this fits better to exegetical things, just move it if you like
