| Summary: | In 'A woman's mirror', Magda Misser-van de Weg examines the function and background of the image of women as constructed in I Peter. She focuses on the admonitions addressed to women in the domestic code which are recommended in this letter. The approach of the article is historical critical, the commitment feminist: challenging the repercussions of the message, that submission is the true ornament of woman, which are still felt today. Misset analyses and criticises attempts to smooth over or justify this message. Interpretations of the text as purely strategic and/or as a positive missionary text, are not only contestable on historical and textual grounds, but they also mystify the content of the concrete admonitions and what these meant for women. Following other feminist exegetes, Misset attempts to find traces of this meaning for women and she asks the question whether there were altematives. Within this framework she examines the reference to the matriarch Sarah. Since the image of Sarah as a model of submission cannot be traced back to Genesis nor the Jewish tradition, the elucidation for this image must be sought in the first epistle of Peter itself. |
