This particular passage is notorious for raising questions and controversy. Does it reveal the trivial nature of Christianity- concerned with haircuts and hairstyles? Does it reveal the narrow-mindedness of the Bible? Does the Bible teach women are inferior to men? Was Paul a chauvinist? None of these gets to the heart of the issue. Rather, within the context of marriage, this issue we find Paul addressing is more fundamental and profound- the importance, diversity and glory of the genders.
