From:
The Biblical Vision Regarding
Women's Ordination
By the Rev'd Dr Rodney A. Whitacre
published on:
http://www.episcopalian.org/cclec/paper-whitacre.htm
here is footnote 19:
"The meaning of the word authenteo
is highly debated. For the interpretation
given see Andrew C. Perriman, "What
Eve Did, What Women Shouldn't Do:
The Meaning of authenteo in 1 Timothy
2:12," Tyndale Bulletin 44.1 (1993):
129-142. Perriman's findings should be
supplemented by those of Andreas J.
Kostenberger in "Syntactical Parallels to
1 Timothy 2:12 in Extrabiblical Greek
Literature," a paper delivered at the
Society of Biblical Literature in
November, 1992. He found that when
two infinitives are in the particular
construction found here, they both refer
to something positive or both to
something negative. Since to teach is
always positive in Paul, authentein is
also positive. It therefore means
something like exercise authority over,
not a negative notion like domineer."
