The God Who Made Us
Manage episode 434957359 series 1095727
Genesis affirms a balance of sameness and difference between the sexes. This is a delicate balance that is difficult, but necessary, to maintain. Most theories of gender lose this balance, veering into extremes of uniformity (men and women are interchangeable) or polarity (men are from Mars, women are from Venus). Both extremes lose the fruitful tension expressed here in Genesis…. [The] origin story of sexual difference [between men and women] proclaims that our identities as men and women matter; they carry sacred significance and occupy a prominent place in this worldview.
