1 Corinthians: Head Coverings

Paul is addressing the wearing of head coverings. We cannot understand this text without understanding the historical-cultural context. We discover that men wore head coverings during corporate worship to flaunt their social status and women removed their head coverings to flaunt their rebellion and life of promiscuity. Paul shows them that men wearing heading coverings during corporate worship dishonors Christ and women who remove their head coverings dishonor their husbands. Paul is going to give them three reasons why they should not be doing it.
