Holmes examines four exegetical devices employed by all sides in
the debate on 1 Tim. 2.9-15, proposing that together they create a
'whirlwind' effect which obscures the text's meaning. She concludes
that (1) the immediate context is general, not ecclesial; (2)
background often reconstructed from passages elsewhere in the
Pastorals is misleading; (3) comparison with 1 Cor. 14.34-35 can
similarly mislead; and (4) the conjunction gar ('for') has been
allowed unduly to dominate interpretation. The writer of the
letter, it is argued, has been misunderstood since very early in
the Christian era, his intention having been simply to moderate
women's everyday behaviour in ways that parallel the behaviour he
requires of men.
