Document Summary
From genesis 1-11, i thought that one major difference is the view of women. In ancient greece, women were oftentimes not regarded as essentially a different species than men. They were not given opportunities nor could they contribute in the political society. They were seen as much inferior to men. In this part of the bible, the woman is still considered the helper suited to the man , but it is emphasized that they are equally important in god"s eyes, as they are both his creations formed in his image: God created mankind in his image; in the image of god he created them; male and female he created them (genesis 1:27). God tells adam as he presents eve to him, This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh" (genesis 2:23). So it seems that men and women are given equal respect at the beginning of time.
