 I Commend to You Our Sister Phoebe: Paul and the Status of Women in the Church
Ross Saunders

​'Paul has been much maligned for his many criticisms of women. He is often seen as the primal male chauvinist, responsible for the anti-female attitude of Christianity.
My aim is not to exonerate Paul.
My aim is to find out why – why did Paul occasionally find it necessary to downgrade women in some congregations?
What I hope to show is that in fact, Paul’s attitude to women varied from congregation to congregation, from area to area within the Roman Empire. I believe Paul did not have a consistent structure for male-female status and roles in the church as a whole.
If I am right, then we have been wrong in universalising Paul’s statements about women in the letters he addressed to particular congregations in particular social and religious
settings.' 
Ross Saunders.
