The Bushnell view is an informal label for the view that in 1 Corinthians 11, [[Paul]] does not command women to cover their heads, but discourages it.  In this view, Paul allows women to cover if neccessary for their husband's sake, but forbids covering otherwise. The same conclusion is found by John Lightfoot and William Welty. The original and in depth view can be found in [[God's Word to Women]] by [[Katherine Bushnell]], lessons 29-35.

The foundation of this view is not of interpretation, but translation. Because [[Koine Greek]] has no puncuation it does not always clearly show quotations, the ending of sentences, and questions. All of these are put in place by the translator.
