A Reinvestigation Of "The Creation Of Woman" From A Hebraic Viewpoint, Barry Fike
A Reinvestigation Of "The Creation Of Woman" From A Hebraic Viewpoint, Barry Fike
Barry D. Fike
This paper looks at the role of women in society and the church while investigating the original creation story in Hebrew without the sociological intervention and gross misinterpretation of the text by modern man so often used to show the "superiority" of men because of the "after thought" in the creation of woman. Because of the misinterpretation of ideas and words, such as submissive and helpmeet used in the Biblical text, many men claim "superiority" over women in a spiritual sense when nothing is further from the truth.
