Yikes!  I never really looked at this title page of John Knox’s pamphlet before.I’d glanced at it but not given it a second thought.  Yeah, misogyny.  What else is new?  Today, however, I read that title page carefully, and the Bible verse cited there jumped out at me–the same verse being used today to keep women from being ordained as pastors in some churches.1 Timothy 2:12 “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man.”I read further in Wikipedia’s summary of The First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regimen of Women.John Knox first…
