This article tends to make overgeneralized, and often very biased, statements that are not fully explained. For example, in the introductory paragraph, a claim was made that the bible is the only book in which women are perceived as human beings and as an equal status to that of men. Has the author read every book that has been published in this century in order to make this claim? Unlikely. And even though, many female characters within the Bible resist the sort of male oppression, women were also presented as beings who had no will of their own, must remain silent, and obey both their husbands and God without question. |

There are also troubling statements such as: "The views of women presented in the Hebrew Bible are complex and often ambivalent." [1] I am not understanding the meaning of this statement, especially with the use of complex and ambivalent in the same sentence, but the author does not go on to explain in what ways the women indicate these characteristics. This article needs more explanation of terms and characteristics that they are placing here in order to give the readers a clear understanding of the arguments that they are trying to convey. |

The article also mentions the fact that Adam and Eve's creation story is narrated from different perspectives but fails to provide the reader with information as to who is doing the telling of those stories and how that might be significant to understanding the different roles of the sexes.

Editing Notes for Women in the Bible [1] This article tends to make overgeneralized, and often very biased, statements that are not fully explained. For example, in the introductory paragraph, a claim was made that the bible is the only book in which women are perceived as human beings and as an equal status to that of men. Has the author read every book that has been published in this century in order to make this claim? Unlikely. And even though, many female characters within the Bible resist the sort of male oppression, women were also presented as beings who had no will of their own, must remain silent, and obey both their husbands and God without question.
There are also troubling statements such as: "The views of women presented in the Hebrew Bible are complex and often ambivalent." [1] I am not understanding the meaning of this statement, especially with the use of complex and ambivalent in the same sentence, but the author does not go on to explain in what ways the women indicate these characteristics. This article needs more explanation of terms and characteristics that they are placing here in order to give the readers a clear understanding of the arguments that they are trying to convey.
The article also mentions the fact that Adam and Eve's creation story is narrated from different perspectives but fails to provide the reader with information as to who is doing the telling of those stories and how that might be significant to understanding the different roles of the sexes.
