>Is the Bible sexist? Not according to Bess Twiston Davies. Writing for the Time Online, she said that new research claims that the Bible’s negative stance on women is a myth.
She wrote:
New research into Biblical women shows that the majority receive positive or matter-of-fact write-ups. Words such as “blessed”, “righteous” “outstanding” and – of course – “beautiful” crop up in descriptions of 60 of the Bible’s 175 female characters, according to research from The Bible Society.
Is the Bible sexist? Read the article and what it says about Eve and then decide for yourself.

>As Phyllis Trible urges Eve “reverses what Church, synagogue and academy have preached about women,” so must we. Perhaps we should focus on bringing our understanding of women to mirror that of the understandings of the biblical authors, as displayed in the article.Thanks for sharing this post.
