The Christian Woman's Headcovering, by Bishop Jerry L Hayes, is an examination of the Bible's teaching of head-covering for both men and women. The Apostle Paul's teaching from 1 Corinthians 11:3-16 is exegeted statement by statement. Important questions such as: Was the requirement of head-covering cultural, or universal? Are Christian women required to wear the covering all the time or only in worship? Is the covering Paul required a cloth covering or long hair? What does the covering symbolize? How is it that angels are involved?The subject of headship (which is the true subject of the head-covering) is perhaps the most controversial issue of our modern Christian society. The idea of equality of the sexes has so permeated the thought processes of our age that to speak of any differences between male and female is to be considered politically incorrect, Therefore, the topic of this treatise is perhaps the most disputed one of our age. Since the Lord's church has, sadly, concerned herself with being a reflection of the society in which she finds herself, our present topic is then-controversial, even, in the congregations of the Church. This should not be the case. The Church should not be a thermometer that simply reflects the temperature of its surroundings; but, the Church should concern herself with being our society's thermostat that sets a standard that will bring society's norms up to the pre-settings of Holy Scripture. having said that, we will embark on a study of 1 Corinthians 11:3-16.
