What did your bible course do about the two different stories of God’s creation of man and woman. According to the one, God formed man and woman out of the earth/mud but in the second version forms woman out of the rib of Adam. The first interpretation suggests the equality of man and woman, but the second version which is the one widely taught in patriarchal Christian settings shows the subordination and/or inferiority of woman.
No no, Eve is, according to Adam himself, “flesh of my flesh and bone of my bones.” That and the fact that she was taken from his side, not the feet or back which might suggest a lower status, reveals that she was meant to be of equal value to him, not beneath or behind him. They were to tend the garden side by side.
