With respect to Revelation, Swartley naturally begins by emphasizing its affinity with other apocalyptic writings of the period, knowledge of which discourages (but unfortunately does not prevent) literalistic interpretations. Deweese's examination of Baptist exegetical scholars leads him to the belief that those who oppose the ordination of women deacons do so by exclusively employing selected writings of the apostle Paul and by interpreting his writings in a literalistic manner without taking into account the ancient paternalistic world in which they were written.
