The book examines in detail 1 Timothy 2:9-15 by analyzing its various contexts from the broader historical context including culture and religion to the narrower biblical context including the Old and New Testaments, Pastoral Epistles, and the passage itself. In this approach, the book becomes a model for proper hermeneutics.
