But rather than dismiss this text, Elsa Tamez seeks first to reconstruct the situation behind it, analyzing power struggles in the primitive church in relation to social position, gender roles, theological pluralism, and authority in the church.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Elsa Tamez</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Timothy, 1st</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">227.8306</classification> <classification authority="ddc">E49-T16</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781570757082</identifier> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070420.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
