My dear biblical savant!
Timothy, 1 or 2 hardly belongs to Book of Revelations with which Paul was in no way connected... Though, that he was an ardent conformed mmisogynist is, indeed, indisputable. But not the Christ: although blatant descrimination against women continues undiminished in the societies that have emanated from the biblical region, in his tolerant stand vis-a.viz the adulteress, Jesus, surely, set the tone for progressive, albeit, dispairingly slow femenine emancipation.
