Is 1Cor 11:2-16 an expression of st. Paul’s misogyny?

Piotr Łabuda

Abstract

The eleventh chapter of the first epistle to the corinthians includes Paul’s recommendation for the appropriate clothing for men and women while worshiping. Paul’s discourse refers mainly to the question of a woman’s wear and head covering. What he presents in 1cor 11:2-16, therefore, does not mean that he is to be called a misogynist. the apostle recognizes the importance of women wor-shiping and prophesying during gatherings of the faithful. However he does not accept the idea of women praying with their uncovered heads. Paul’s suggestions for suitable clothes, hairstyle and head covering in the course of worshipping god were rooted in the specific cultural background.
