1 Cor. 11 Hair length? Coverings? Or Something Else? What Is Going On In 1 Cor. 11?

In todays episode I will be responding to a popular holiness podcast that discusses holiness standards, specifically the issue of hair length for men and women.   This particular episode was full of misleading, misogynistic, false, and sometimes outright cultish tactics.  I pray this episode is a blessing and hopefully answers some common objections raised by fundamentalists preaching when it comes to this difficult passage.  Three things to remember when reading this setting of Scripture are submission, distinction, and worship.  The Bible is a book intended to be both read and studied. This is an example of a bad reading of scripture, leading to bad study, and ultimately bad conclusions. 

If you are interested in doing better study I have three book recommendations for you:
