What We’ve Gotten Wrong About Headship

The Apostle Paul teaches that “the man is the head of the woman” (1 Cor 11:3; also Eph 5:23). This is a tactless and ugly saying to the modern ear. In spite of its perceived tactlessness, still many continue to uphold “male headship” as an enduring sign of true orthodoxy—even, for some, as the litmus test for true commitment to the authority of God’s word. And while I certainly believe that Christians are to affirm male headship (at least in some way, as I will explain), I am also aware that it is all too easy to uphold male headship...

A Letter to My Younger Married Self

Priscilla Wong
