The New Testament [again, and notoriously, in the person of St Paul] assumes that there will be places other than the bedroom in which men and women assume consciously differentiated roles. They will do so in the affairs of the home, in which the wife is to "submit" to her husband (Eph. 5:22ff) as head. They will do so even outside the context of family life, since man is "head" of woman in some sense; in quite another context, when the Church is at worship (I Cor. 11:2ff). In order that St Paul should not be misjudged, we must note--(a) that this relational ordering of male and female presupposes a fundamental generic equality (I Cor. 11:1 ff); and (b) that the "submission" of the wife is a special case of a "submission" of all Christians to one another, and complements a husband's love that is to be expressed in self-sacrifice (Eph. 5:2lff, 25ff). The apostle is not an apologist for male tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Setting themselves against reason, as often as reason is against them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Setting themselves against reason, as often as reason is against them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Did you ever hear anyone say "That work had better be banned because I might read it and it might ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Did you ever hear anyone say "That work had better be banned because I might read it and it might be very dangerous to me?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was the first Tuesday in August.
