Cultural Similarities Between Then and Now

Welcome to our very first Q&A! Last month we asked our listeners to send in their questions relating to 1 Corinthians 11, which talks about headship within the Christian marriage and head coverings.

Today’s guest is Dr. Gregory Lockwood from Adelaide, South Australia. Dr. Lockwood is an emeritus professor who has worked at Concordia Theological Seminary at Fort Wayne, Indiana, as well as at the Australian Lutheran College in Adelaide. His commentary on 1 Corinthians was published by Concordia Publishing House in August, 2000 and has been distributed worldwide.

We hope that this episode will serve you in your own personal study of God’s Word on these topics.
