Woman

WOMAN interrogates the different layers in the two creation stories of the Bible, its impact on gender relations, the personhood, womanhood and dignity of women. "WOMAN takes a focused approach, and Edem's ability to delve into the multiple layers of the Genesis narrative is truly captivating.Rather than simply reciting existing beliefs, Edem guides readers towards nuanced interpretations, which underpins the core themes of the book.>The Genesis account in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) provides two different creation stories.>Woman stimulates contemplation about God's purpose for humanity, particularly women, womanhood, human dignity, marriage, and its origins.."-Excerpt from FOREWORD by Prof. Mercy Amba Oduyoye, First African Woman Theologian, Educator and Poet
