Do narratives such as the Eden story explain that dissymmetry or contribute to it? \u003cem\u003eCreating Gender in the Garden\u003c\/em\u003e suggests that the Hebrew Bible began and has sustained a rich conversation about sex and gender throughout its life. A literary study of the Garden of Eden story reveals a focus on the human partnership as integral to the divine creation project. Texts from other Hebrew Bible genres build a picture of robust and flexible partnerships within a patriarchal framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn popular culture, Eve still carries the stench of guilt while Adam, seemingly unscathed by Eden events, remains a positive symbol of manhood. This book helps explain why they have had such different histories. The book also charts the subversive alternate streams of interpretation of women’s writings and rabbinic texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of Adam and Eve demonstrates how conceptions of gender in both ancient and modern worlds reflect larger philosophical schemes. Far from existing as timeless verities, female and male relations are constructed according to cultural imperatives of the day. Understanding the different ways that Adam and Eve have been conceived gives us perspective on our own twenty-first century gender architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596064407788,"sku":"9780567704597","price":68.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/786ea04a7eb59d47c05554f052b959a1.jpg?v=1777931575"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dr-barbara-deutschmann.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
