Woman in the Divine Vision
Biblical Perspective and Prospects
Keywords:
WomanAbstract
Through this well researched article Prof. Paul Kalluveettil establishes beyond
doubt the futiliry of attempts to launch androcentric preconceptions on the
authority of the Sacred Scripture. In the correct Biblical perspective woman
is not an afterthought of God or a commodity at the disposal of man. The
Bible does not attest any sort of discrimination against woman based on her
gender. Woman in the divine vision is an eoual. inalienable and sine Qua
non partner who always dared to step in to accomplish the divine demands
and save the face of her partner with a selfless devotion and motherly care.
