"TOWARD A HERMENEUTIC FOR DISCERNING
UNIVERSAL MORAL ABSOLUTES"
TERRANCE TIESSEN*
JETS 36/2 (June 1993) 189-207

Excerpt:
There is a common recognition that God revealed himself in a form
that was meaningful to the original recipients in their particular context
in order to communicate his truth effectively. Biblical interpreters are not
all agreed, however, concerning the method for discerning the timeless,
supracultural truth in Scripture in order to obey God in our own time.
This becomes particularly obvious when one attempts to discern God's will
concerning the place of women in church leadership. In defining principles
for discerning universal moral absolutes, this issue will therefore be a
frequent point of reference. --from the first page of the article
