A Christian Project
Keywords:
Discrimination, Humanity, Gender Policy, Christian tradition, Eve, Feminine GeniusAbstract
A Christian project of 'Feminine Genius' finds its roots in the life and ministries of Jesus. The Gospels witness to Jesus' recognition of the uniqueness and unity of men and women. As Pope John Paul wrote in his Apostolic Letter, Mulieris Dignitatem, "In all of Jesus' teaching, as well as in His behaviour, one can find nothing which reflects the discrimination against women so prevalent in His day. On the contrary, His words and works always express the honour and respect due to women..."1 Jesus Christ is the source, centre and limit of a Christian project for the promotion of 'Feminine Genius'.
