Abstract

This paper shows the authorship and purpose of the pastoral epistles as significant to understanding a complementarian position on male leadership in relation to women, traces the specific responsibilities of male leadership toward women in their congregation, discusses what each responsibility is, and demonstrates how each of these responsibilities celebrate the differences in the genders, but do not diminish the worth of women.
