Well, relax, I'm not really saying that Paul would be in favour of everything that modern radical feminism stands for. But I am saying that passages like 1 Corinthians 7 show quite clearly that Paul had a very high view of the status of women. You see, there is a popular fallacy that the apostle Paul was a reactionary, right wing misogynist who thought the proper place for a woman was under her husband's thumb.
Nothing is further from the truth.
More of that shortly. 1994 is the International Year of the Family. But the nature of the Australian family has undergone radical changes in the past three decades. So much has changed so quickly. The rise of easy divorce, de facto relationships, the blended family, changes in gender roles in work and parenting, and so on, have changed many once-accepted ground rules.
