Abstract

This essay presents a critical exploration of the genesis of authority as a male prerogative by examining biblical texts that comprise a sustained gender discourse spanning the length of biblical tradition. Focal texts include 1 Corinthians 11:2-16; Genesis 1-3; 1 Corinthians 14:33b-36; and 1 Timothy 2:11-15. The discussion includes consideration of the legacy of biblical gender discourse in legal coverture and in the textual and discursive coverture of women in Catholic justice discourse.|Keywords: authority, male prerogative, gender construction, gender order, procreation, patriarchy, justice discourse, coverture
