Paul's teaching on head-coverings in Church (1Corinthians 11:1-16) is one of the most complex passages in the New Testament. Derek explains how his argument is on 3 levels: *(1) The THEOLOGICAL basis: HEADSHIP in Marriage. *(2) The PRINCIPLE of HEAD-COVERING – a woman should cover her head as a symbol and expression of her SUBMISSION to the HEADSHIP of her man. *(3) The PRACTICE – what constitutes a COVERING? This passage also speaks to the issue of whether a man should have long hair.
