Calvin and Luther - interesting comments concerning women. Calvin seemed to think the issue of women being silent in churches was a case of adiaphora, and Luther conceded that women got a much worse deal out of the Fall than men did (paraphrase)

Slightly unfair portrayals of Calvin and Knox, I think. Calvin portrayed as a big ol' softie and Knox as a woman hater. Otherwise, still very informative.

Hilarious. Some perfect examples of why ‘reformed and always reforming’ is necessary.

An eyebrow raising presupposition under that last comment.

Exact quote is:'And true it is that the female sex is far more deeply humbled and afflicted, and bears a punishment far more heavy and severe than men. For what sufferings of the body, equal to those we just described, does man endure?'
Interesting to say the least
Just read that in the chapter. Yes, a bemusing take from Luther…
