## Resource

Should women wear head coverings in church, or is something else going on in 1 Corinthians 11? This passage has puzzled believers for years and is gaining new attention in both conservative and Reformed churches. In this episode, Jon is joined by Doug Van Dorn to explore how this text should be read and understood. You will see why context, culture, and authorial intent matter when interpreting difficult passages of Scripture. Rather than focusing on surface-level conclusions, this conversation equips you to read the Bible more carefully.
