Woman: What the Bible Really Says About Her-Story, and Human Dignity (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

WOMAN interrogates the different layers in the two creation stories of the Bible, its impact on gender relations, the personhood, womanhood and dignity of women. "WOMAN takes a focused approach, and Edem's ability to delve into the multiple layers of the Genesis narrative is truly captivating. Rather than simply reciting existing beliefs, Edem guides readers towards nuanced interpretations, which underpins the core themes of the book. Through its thought-provoking pages, Woman invites us to re-examine our long-held beliefs, assumptions, and prejudices, and to consider God's intention. The Genesis account in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) provides two different creation stories.

The first, the Priestly (Elohim) story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a), emphasizes that God created humans as both male and female at the same time (en masse). The second, the Yahwist story (Genesis 2:4b-25) describes the creation of man and woman separately, with the woman being created as a companion for the man.... Woman stimulates contemplation about God's purpose for humanity, particularly women, womanhood, human dignity, marriage, and its origins.." -Excerpt from FOREWORD by Prof. Mercy Amba Oduyoye, First African Woman Theologian, Educator and Poet
