Description: Why is this passage so much debated? Aside from the obvious fact that gender issues hold centre stage today, it is also littered with interpretive difficulties. Let us see some of them.

Kevin, the Principal of SATS, is a lover of one God, a husband to one wife (Lyndi), a father to one son (Joshua), and a student for life. 

I grew up as an atheist, but met Jesus Christ when I was 16. He saved me wonderfully, and he has been the love of my life ever since. After school, I completed four degrees: BA (Theology), MA (New Testament), DLitt (Greek), and PhD (Theology). After serving for four years as a pastor, I joined the South African Theological Seminary (SATS) in 2004 as the Academic Dean; in 2018 I became the Principal of SATS.

My two chief loves are Jesus Christ and the Word of God. This channel is dedicated to teaching the Word of God in a way that glorifies its Author.
