The Role of Women in Christian Tradition

The creation story shared by Christians, Muslims and Jews is a cornerstone of the historical bias towards women. According to this very view, women actually cause evil to come into the world as a result they must atone for their collective guilt and redeem themselves. Women never appear in patriarchal theology as representatives of humanity as such. Their normative position is that of absence and silence. In patriarchal theology mentions women, it does so to reinforce its definition of her place in the system. Feminist scholars also began to identify the relationship between the sexism women experience at worship and the biblical worldview.
