Women throughout history have been oppressed. These women have been silenced and are still being silenced from even within the Bible and society. When thinking of women in the bible the first two names that i can think of are Eve, and Mary (the mother of Jesus). These women play very important roles within the Christian religious beliefs. When looking at Eve you realize she was made from Adam, and Adam was created in Gods image. In addition while looking at the story of Adam and Eve it is Eve’s failure of grabbing the forbidden fruit. However while talking about it in class Eve hadn’t been created until after the rules. Does this make her mistake the fault of Adam. Mary on the other hand is very important and highly mentioned as she is the mother of our savior Jesus. Although throughout her story with Jesus Mary struggle as she sees all that her son is put through.Women in the Bible have important stories within the Gospel but are either unnamed or not called by their actually name but from where they are from. The emphasizes the idea that women in the Bible receive a lot less attention than the male characters receive.
