| The views of women presented in the ] (also called ] in Judaism, ] in Christianity and Taurat/] in Islam) are complex and often ambivalent.{{Dubious|date=September 2010}} | |||
| The question of women's status relative to men in the society depicted in the biblical books, i.e. Iron Age and Hellenistic era ], remains a central and controversial issue. | |||
| The ] have been used to deprecate women on the authority of the Bible: ] and ], throughout their history, have used the story of ] to justify the inferior status for women. Thus, Paul and other early Christians looked to the Adam and Eve story to put the blame for ] on Eve and derived from that the conclusion that women should not be allowed to hold positions of authority or to teach. | |||

| {{Over-quotation|date=September 2010}} | |||
| The creation of ] is narrated from somewhat different perspectives in {{bibleref2|Genesis|1:26-27}} and {{bibleref2|Genesis|2:24}}. The Genesis 1 narration declares the purpose of God, antedating the creation of the sexes.<ref name=Starr>{{cite book|last1=Starr|first1=Lee Anna|title=The Bible Status of Woman|date=1926|publisher=Garland Pub., 1987 reprint of original Revell publication|location=New York|isbn=0824006755}}</ref> It has been called the "non-subordinating" view of woman.<ref name="Staggs">{{cite book|last1=Stagg|first1=Evelyn|last2=Stagg|first2=Frank|title=Woman in the World of Jesus|date=1978|publisher=Westminster Press|location=Philadelphia|isbn=0-664-24195-6|edition=1st}}</ref> | |||
| {{bibleref2|Genesis|5:1-2}} reaffirms that perspective and has been described as interpretative of that decree of God's initial purpose.<ref name="Starr" /> | |||
| The {{Bibleref2|Genesis|2}} narrative has been called the "subordinating view" of woman for two reasons: man is created first, and woman is created out of man.<ref name="Staggs" /> | |||
| Although the {{Bibleref2|Genesis|2}} passage is often cited as biblical evidence that subordination represents God’s will for women, theologian ] disagrees. He believes women's place in the home, in society, and in the church is not an issue that can be conclusively determined by a few apparently restrictive passages. He writes that the starting point must be at the creation of humanity, as ] himself exemplified by quoting {{Bibleref2|Genesis|1:27}} and {{bibleref2|Genesis|2:24|}} in response to a question by the Pharisees.{{Bibleref2c|Matt.|19:4–5}} {{Bibleref2c|Mk.|10:6–7}}<ref name=Nicole>{{cite journal|last1=Nicole|first1=Roger|title=Biblical Egalitarianism and the Inerrancy of Scripture|journal=Prisciilla Papers|date=30 April 2006|volume=20|issue=2|url=https://www.cbeinternational.org/resources/article/priscilla-papers/biblical-egalitarianism-and-inerrancy-scripture|language=en}}</ref> | |||
