Show Notes

Why, in the middle of a letter about the vital nature of unity in the midst of a cosmic attack from the powers and authorities, does Paul suddenly turn to a marriage and parenting workshop for the church? The Eikon team considers the cultural context of Paul's letter and discusses how that may not be at all what Paul was doing. Understanding the contexts of Paul's writing help us understand biblical submission and how Paul envisioned it radically challenging the culture around them.
