Document Summary

A small jewish population who had been expelled from rome under claudius (acts 18) Probably a combination of small house-churches that also met regularly as a larger assembly. Apparently there were a number of factions developing. The first letter in corinthians from ephasus written ca. Paul is likely influenced by contemporary greco-roman and jewish practices as well. Cultural expectation for women to go forth in public with heads covered and men with heads uncovered plutarch. As in all the churches of the saints, women could be silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak but should be subordinate, as the law also says. Paul changes his mind by the time he gets to ch14. Or seems to try to cover himself when he first goes against women, then is for women. Some think that 1 cor 14:33-36 is a marginal gloss or note that is added by a later reader.
