Quote at end of the book:
Quote:The early Christian Church was also apocalyptically oriented and, under Paul's leadership,organized hierarchically, with everyone told to be subservient to the state
(Rom.l3:l-5; 1 Pet.2:13-15 ), women told to be subordinate to men4 and slaves told to
be obedient to their masters (Eph. 6:5; all of Philemon; Tit 2:9,10).
