Why is there such a wide divergence of views over how to interpret 1 Timothy 2? On both sides of the debate, some readings float free from the provable context. Bartlett believes that progress can be made towards better understanding by closer attention to the historical, cultural, and literary context. He concludes that Paul is not expressing concern about authority structures in the church or about Gnosticism. Paul is presenting a logical and connected train of reasoning, which is engaged with the real-life situation that he is instructing Timothy to deal with.
