Teologia da criação na perspectiva das relações de gênero

The present study discusses the reinterpretation of the theology of creation from the mediation of gender relations. The Bible verses related to creation were often used to justify inequalities between men and women, since the "man’s" human-divine figure in such readings was privileged. One of the contributions provided by a gender theology perspective is the possibility of establishing a detachment-approximation relationship between the written sacred text and life’s sacred text, in order to identify the androcentric criteria that have subjected women. This paper seeks to show that while the patriarchal worldview has prevailed in the standpoint of the biblical cultural garb, in the perspective of the texts’ messages it is unjustifiable.
