Not found in the 4,000-year history of the Old Testament, nor in the teachings of Jesus, the silencing of women seems to come out of nowhere in the writings of Paul. New teachings that would shape the Church for the next 2,000 years.

The passages notoriously lifted from their context are found in 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2.
