- Title
A Look at Genesis 3 : 16 in the Light of Abuse.
- Authors
Bryant, Carmen J.
- Abstract
The article examines Genesis 3:16 with regard to the abuse of women. It notes that the biblical passage stating that God gave the husband the right and responsibility to govern his wife tends to be used by the husband to justify the physical, emotional and spiritual abuse he has inflicted on his wife. It stresses that evangelical churches have often indirectly encouraged emotional and spiritual abuse of women with their teachings on submission and headship. It emphasizes that the passage is a statement and not a command.
