MORE BIBLE SCHOLARSHIP

Writing in the HuffPo, John Dominic Crossen claims that 3 of the letters attributed to St. Paul - 1-2 Timothy, Titus - were definitely not written by him.  This is of some interest because the Fundies use Timothy 2:12 to argue that women should not be in leadership positions.

There have been plenty of female Pentecostals (e.g.Katherine Kuhlman, Aimee Semple MacPherson, Jan Crouch) in leadership positions.

Ken,

Yes, I realize that but some Fundies take the injunction in Timothy VERY seriously.

The Baptist types reject the Pentecostals as near-heretics anyway.
