Should Women Wear Head Coverings?

Women are taught today that head coverings during prayer and worship belong to another age and may be set aside. This book argues that nothing has in fact changed, because Saint Paul's instruction is clear and unqualified. Close attention 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 in teaching a non-traditional view.

The treatment includes a thorough exegesis of the passage from the original Greek, the testimony of the Church Fathers, and an examination of the 1976 CDF document Inter Insignores.
