Bauckham observes:
Where readers may bring such prejudice to the texts, even though the texts give no pretext for doing so, again the effect of the narratives will be to refute and to reverse assumptions of male priority and female unreliability. . . . It suggests that within the Christian communities themselves the role of the women as witnesses was highly respected. . . . The counter cultural nature of Christian communities as societies in which God's eschatological overturning of social privilege was taken very seriously.[1]
It would be safe to conclude that the current church should also take overturning of social privilege and sexism seriously.
