| Summary: | The passage 1 Cor 11,2-16 clearly testifies to the fact that there were women prophets in the Corinthian congregation. Still there is a discussion going on till this day, what was the authority of woman prophets in the early Christian church. The article deals with the most discussed questions concerning the passage of the research, i.e. about the head covering and the relationship of 1. Cor 11, 2-16 to 1 Cor 14,34-35, which forbids women to speak in the church. The main question still remains if the function of women prophets was different to that of men prophets. Since prophecy was a gift of the Spirit, which, according to Paul, was the most important aspect for the community there is no doubt, that also women prophets prophesied for the whole community. The text in 1 Cor 14,34-35, which tells women to be silent in the church, does not seem to imply a special kind of speech, so there is an obvious contradiction, which leads the author to agree with the thesis that it has to be a later interpolation. Possibly women in the Corinthian church changed their appearance so that they can play the same role as men prophets in the church (cf. also JosAs 14:1). |
