Should Women Wear Head Coverings?

By Dr. Robert Sungenis · 2015 · ISBN 978-1-939856-64-7

Head coverings at prayer and worship are usually described today as a custom of another age, binding on Corinth and not on us. The argument here is that nothing has in fact changed, because St. Paul's instruction is clear and carries no qualification that would let it lapse.

The weight falls on 1 Corinthians 11:5, "but every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head," the verse that liberal and modernist commentators tend to pass over when teaching the non-traditional view. The treatment works through the passage from the original Greek, sets out the testimony of the Church Fathers, and takes up the 1976 CDF document Inter Insignores. 127 pages.
