John E. Goldingay Quotes
We Have Noted Thatthe Two Creation Stories Contained No Pointers Toward Male "headship" In The Sense That Men Or Husbands Are Supposed To Exercise Authority Or Leadership Over Women Or Wives. But The Audience Of Genesis Knew That Patriarchy Was A Reality Of Life. Genesis Here Tells Them How This Came To Be. Male Authority Or Domination Was Not God's Design But A Consequence Of A Breakdown In Relationship Between Humanity And God, Between Humanity And The Animal World, And Between Human Beings And One Another. From Now On, The Bible Will Assume The Reality Of Patriarchy And Of Male Headship, But It Begins By Noting That This Came About Only As A Result Of Those Various Breakdowns Of Relationship.
