| Summary: | The opening chapters of the Jewish Bible offer key views on the relationship between man and woman. They appear as stories of creation. focusing on the condition of human existence. and as such they provide the necessary paradigms of Biblical thought. In turn they generate particular laws of the Pentateuchal codes that affect human behavior. These laws govern Jewish covenantal life and give rise to rabbinic value-judgments and legal formulations. In the rabbinic view. there exists an effective association between the narrative of the Pentateuch and its laws. The narrative represents the "Haggadah" and the laws the "Halakhah".' The former is beyond the hermeneutical measure of the latter. For the «Helakheh" is structured and determined legalistically. whereas the "Haggadah" generates theological and ethical reflection. In Biblical stories the ideal type or concept is located and through a dynamic application of the Biblical laws the norm is established. Accordingly. an examination ofthe key paradigmatic stories will shed light on how the rabbis essentially viewed women in their religion. It will also provide a particular insight into Jesus' teachings and his ministry affecting woman. |
