Week 2
Read: Genesis 2:21-22
I’m glad that Stott lifted up Eve as we move through this section of the Bible. The person she was in her own creation and the wife she was in her relationship to Adam are two beautiful and necessary revelations of the sacredness of womanhood.
I’m surely not saying that we don’t need any revelation about sacred manhood. In some ways, we may need more help here than with womanhood—although both are surely being represented through the lens of a fallen world today.
But we will take what we can get from the pen of John Stott to remind us that Eve is “at last” what God has in mind for the sacred feminine. And as Stott correctly pointed out yesterday, it is a view which eliminates the extremes of male superiority on the one hand and radical feminism on the other.
We are left with God’s view of womanhood, unencumbered by a fallen world’s belief that some other factor must be added in order to make Eve who she was meant to be.
