| Zusammenfassung: | Tribal Christian patriarchal societies promulgate women subordination as biblical by using the creation stories in Gen 2–3. This paper re-examines the narrative of Gen 2–3, whether women subordination is promulgated in the text. Terms and logic often used for women subjugation—such as the woman created to be ‘helper’ for the man, the woman being created later and from the man, the man to ‘rule’ the woman—are not so straightforward as they seem. A close analysis of the biblical narratives demonstrates that these terms, in their root meanings, are rather ambiguous. Rather than subordination, sameness and togetherness between the man and the woman are emphasized throughout the narrative of Gen 2–3. |
