Pentecostal Hair Doctrine

Ancient Corinth, the focal point for the letters from the Apostle Paul in Corinthians, was a center for Dionysian worship. According to second-century world traveler Pausanias, two statues of Dionysus stood in the Corinthian market in ancient tradition.⁠ Dionysian cults were among the ancient religions known as “mystery religions” for the secrets reserved for converts initiated into the sect. As a result, many of the secrets held by converts were lost to time.

The ancient Greeks viewed madness as an important aspect of worship, especially the women of the Dionysus cult, or Maenads. The women exalted “him of the orgiastic cry, exciter of women, Dionysus, glorified with mad honors”.⁠2 In religious ecstasy, women pulled the pins from their hair and let their hair flow down like the mythic Maenads.⁠

When the early converts in Corinth adopted Christian worship, this apparently presented a problem; The Apostle Paul dedicated several sentences in 1 Corinthians 11 to a “woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered”⁠4. Paul admitted that “ we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.”⁠5 Interestingly, the English word “maniac” and “Maenad” share similar roots.⁠6 Towards the end of the passage, Paul explained, “we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.”

The Pentecostal faith, unaware of the context of the mythology in ancient Corinth, understood the passage to mean that women should not cut their hair — even though Paul's letter stated, "For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn"
