| Summary: | Any claim of understanding the context of the New Testament writings must attend to gender relations in the first-century Mediterranean world. Depictions of such relations are often presented unrealistically. Ignoring certain historical sources and favouring inappropriate theoretical models. This study constructs and interprets aspects of the mentality underlying first-century interaction between men and women. Generally speaking, gender relations in antiquity seem to reveal an inherent tendency towards violence. They clearly were fundamentally hierarchical. A distinct narcissistic and egocentric motivation can also be detected. The New Testament perspectives on gender relations both reflect and interact with this context. |
