AN EVALUATION OF THE STATEMENTS OF PAULUS CONSIDERING WOMEN’S HEAD COVER.

During intellectual formation and maturing of his ideas, other cultures have contributed a lot to the Jewish background of Paulus who had an active life. His statements concerning the social status of women and especially the scarves/veils resemble exactly to those in the Old Testaments and the Talmud. His view of the scarf/veil reflects the traditions of the cultures in which he was obliged to live in. Paulus, therefore, has not invented a new idea about the “woman” and their “head cover”, but uttered the cultural values of those days. This fact, therefore, is not an original and new idea for the Christian doctrine.
