Document Summary
Women that paul looked at that were active in the church. Different views of the early church community about marriage and celibacy. Not marrying is better not denying that marriage is part of the community sense that some people in the community are advocating for singleness. Eschatological trust (sense that the world is coming to an end, particularly for paul, that the resurrected christ is going to return) Different vocabulary, heological emphasis, less imminent eschatology, more structured, developed church order, officies. One way to claim authority was to write in the name of a well established figure. People writing afterwards will attempt to link their message with the apostle paul. If written by paul, dated in the late 60s. Grandmother lois and mother eunice in 2 timothy. No husbands are named here, so they may be widows. Read beginnings of the letters and try to get a sense of how they fit into these passages as a whole.
