Glad you're back. Hope your summer castling was good. In the spirit of this post - my daughter will be co-leading a co-ed small group study this semester (at WVU) on 1 Timothy. :)

So...what I don’t “understand” about “biblical” patriarchy involves the “biblical” aspect. I’m sure most of your readers are aware that, according to Acts, the early Christians formed a commune. So, if patriarchy is mandated by the Bible, why isn’t communism mandated as well? It would be interesting to hear Al Mohler respond to this question.

Well, there are lots of problems with biblical patriarchy, including that it really isn't biblical. I'll defer to a biblical scholar on communism :)
