Summary:As introduction to this thematic issue on the interconnection of gender, biblical and public discourses, this article problematises the seeking of "origins" in its various manifestations as current, appropriate task of New Testament and Early Christian Studies. It argues instead for a recognition of the power relations that act as conflating discourses, sometimes in compliance, sometimes in confrontation with each other.
