A Woman of Chayil: Far Above Rubies by Jane Carole Anderson

What I have been searching for is some articles by real bible scholars who can hopefully shed some light on these matters.

One I found is:

Daniel B. Wallace

He is an internationally known Greek New Testament scholar. Not only is he an expert in Greek, but he is the senior New Testament editor of the NET Bible (didn't Jane use the NET bible notes in her book?). From his website - Wallace has been a consultant for four Bible translations—ESV, TNIV, New King James Bible, and New English Translation. He has also contributed articles to the ESV Study Bible and the Holman Christian Standard Study Bible.

Firstly, an article that presents the difficulties of interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:12, without taking sides.

His view on 1 Tim 2:12 is found here:

Interestingly he says:

He bases his viewpoint on creation. In v. 13 he says, "For Adam was first created, then Eve." In the least, this argument shows that Paul is not restricting his treatment to the church; it's a matter that is grounded in the constitutional differences between men and women, or at least in the order of authority that God had ordained. In Gen 2-3, we see an interesting phenomenon relevant to 1 Tim 2. God teaches man, man teaches woman, the devil is out of the picture. That's Gen 2. But in Gen 3, we see the devil teaching woman, woman teaching man, and God is out of the picture. And this is Paul's argument: there is a divinely ordained order to things that, if disturbed, could bring ruin.

Note that I said similar in my previous post #102

Paul's statement "as also saith the Law" is in reference to Genesis 3:16 and Numbers 30:3-12 which also indicates the general nature of his command. These are universal principles that Paul laid down in all the churches.

Finally, an article about the use of Galatians 3:28, which I thought was interesting:
