abstract
  • The views of women presented in the Hebrew Bible are complex and often ambivalent. However, the question of women's status relative to men remains a central and controversial issue in any approach to this text, from apologetics and Christian beliefs to feminism and atheism. Steven Weitzman, Harvard PhD and religious studies professor at Stanford University, says the Genesis Creation accounts have been used to deprecate women on the alleged authority of the Bible: Jews and Christians, throughout their history, have used the story of Adam and Eve to justify second-class status for women. Paul and other early Christians looked to the Adam and Eve story to put the blame for the Fall on Eve and derived from that the conclusion that women should not be allowed to hold positions of authority or to teach.
