I propose the need to step back for a moment from the pressing questions of the day to ask whether they represent the best way to approach the issue. I also present some other possibilities. While our current questions have a definite practical value, are there other questions we should be asking, ones that are more foundational to the topic? In other words, can we gain a more robust understanding of the role of gender in the kingdom of God, which may then help us answer our specific questions?
