1. Biblical Point of View Of
Women

2. Opening Question
What is the biblical view
of a woman? Is she
equal,or superior,or
inferior to man?

3. • The Genesis account of God’s creation
of the first male and female gives a
clear picture that is extremely different
from evolutionary views in our culture.
God designed both the man and
woman in His own image equally
(Genesis 1:26–27).

4. • Adam was created first, but God decreed
that it was not good for man to be alone
(Genesis 2:18).
• Therefore, God fashioned Eve out of
Adam’s rib.
• The well-known Bible commentator
Matthew Henry said that Eve was “made
of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made
out of his head to rule over him, nor out
of his feet to be trampled upon by him,
but out of his side to be equal with him,
under his arm to be protected, and near
his heart to be beloved.”
