Feminism  had infiltrated the church, causing many to question the time-honored interpretations of passages involving manhood and womanhood, gender roles, and their implications within the church, home, and society. She begins her article by stating this reexamination as its impetus. Though some criticize her for being reactive, the reality is, reaction occurred on both sides as denominations began to split over issues like women’s ordination. Like other well-meaning complementarian theologians, Foh aimed to guard biblical fidelity. <br /><br />The impact of her interpretation was far-reaching. She offered apparent insight into the feminist movement, even arguing it made biblical sense. She isolated the cause—a woman’s inherent desire to usurp authority—and others applied her work by aiming to address the problem by stressing submission in women and “biblical womanhood.” Foh’s influence is seen in the Danvers statement, a response to radical feminism written by a group of Evangelical complementarians at a meeting of the Council of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood in 1987–1988. Over forty years later, Foh’s interpretation has become the standard interpretation of Genesis 3:16 by conservative scholars. It has even made its way into the ESV translation. <br /><br />Despite its broad support, however, Foh’s view is not universally accepted. As Irvin Busenitz writes in a 1986 article, “A consensus of interpretation has not emerged. The complexity of the issue, coupled with the exegetical difficulty of relevant Scripture, has made general agreement elusive.” This is still true many years later, evidenced by the numerous books and articles that continue to be published on this verse. One great difficulty in reaching consensus is summarized well by Athalya Brenner: “Any interpretation of this utterance—as a curse, aetiological statement of fact, blessing, or otherwise—is largely dependent on the reader’s gender position and may vary considerably.” Foh’s argument is ultimately polemical, aimed at defending a biblical view of women and gender roles. And those who argue against her have similar motivations, though perhaps from different angles. We all must approach the text aware of our desire to respond to cultural issues, and we must honestly assess if it is the text or the interpretation’s impact that influences our conclusions.<br /><br />This paper contains both a review of Foh’s article and an alternate proposal for the meaning of Genesis 3:16cd. This paper will first analyze Foh’s argument by retracing her steps: It will examine common interpretations of Genesis 3:16 and the rare word תְּשׁוּקָה and review the history of interpretation, evaluating the arguments for and against each. It will consider the etymology for תְּשׁוּקָה, examining Foh’s application of cognate evidence and considering new developments in light of the Dead Sea Scrolls. And it will consider the structure and context surrounding Genesis 3:16cd, with the aim of evaluating the linchpin of Foh’s argument—the parallels between Genesis 3:16 and Genesis 4:7. Retracing Foh’s steps, however, does not lead to the same conclusion that the woman’s desire is adversarial. Instead, this paper will use the evidence presented to propose that the woman’s desire in Genesis 3:16c is a shocking reversal of what should have resulted from sin. Rather than the woman’s desire causing disruption in marriage, it evidences God’s grace, allowing for continuity despite the disruption that has occurred.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/68148519" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="cad992a2f1d6e8f6b10da1f90abb231f" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":78727478,"asset_id":68148519,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/78727478/download_file?st=MTc0MDg2NTYzNiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="183134360" href="https://independent.academia.edu/KendraDahl">Kendra Dahl</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="183134360" type="text/json">{"id":183134360,"first_name":"Kendra","last_name":"Dahl","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"KendraDahl","display_name":"Kendra Dahl","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/KendraDahl?f_ri=803159","photo":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/4eaf61c9e53118f1802808b58d82abdb?s=65"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_68148519 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="68148519"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 68148519, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_68148519", });

Feminism had infiltrated the church, causing many to question the time-honored interpretations of passages involving manhood and womanhood, gender roles, and their implications within the church, home, and society. She begins her article by stating this reexamination as its impetus. Though some criticize her for being reactive, the reality is, reaction occurred on both sides as denominations began to split over issues like women’s ordination. Like other well-meaning complementarian theologians, Foh aimed to guard biblical fidelity. \n\nThe impact of her interpretation was far-reaching. She offered apparent insight into the feminist movement, even arguing it made biblical sense. She isolated the cause—a woman’s inherent desire to usurp authority—and others applied her work by aiming to address the problem by stressing submission in women and “biblical womanhood.” Foh’s influence is seen in the Danvers statement, a response to radical feminism written by a group of Evangelical complementarians at a meeting of the Council of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood in 1987–1988. Over forty years later, Foh’s interpretation has become the standard interpretation of Genesis 3:16 by conservative scholars. It has even made its way into the ESV translation. \n\nDespite its broad support, however, Foh’s view is not universally accepted. As Irvin Busenitz writes in a 1986 article, “A consensus of interpretation has not emerged. The complexity of the issue, coupled with the exegetical difficulty of relevant Scripture, has made general agreement elusive.” This is still true many years later, evidenced by the numerous books and articles that continue to be published on this verse. One great difficulty in reaching consensus is summarized well by Athalya Brenner: “Any interpretation of this utterance—as a curse, aetiological statement of fact, blessing, or otherwise—is largely dependent on the reader’s gender position and may vary considerably.” Foh’s argument is ultimately polemical, aimed at defending a biblical view of women and gender roles. And those who argue against her have similar motivations, though perhaps from different angles. We all must approach the text aware of our desire to respond to cultural issues, and we must honestly assess if it is the text or the interpretation’s impact that influences our conclusions.\n\nThis paper contains both a review of Foh’s article and an alternate proposal for the meaning of Genesis 3:16cd. This paper will first analyze Foh’s argument by retracing her steps: It will examine common interpretations of Genesis 3:16 and the rare word תְּשׁוּקָה and review the history of interpretation, evaluating the arguments for and against each. It will consider the etymology for תְּשׁוּקָה, examining Foh’s application of cognate evidence and considering new developments in light of the Dead Sea Scrolls. And it will consider the structure and context surrounding Genesis 3:16cd, with the aim of evaluating the linchpin of Foh’s argument—the parallels between Genesis 3:16 and Genesis 4:7. Retracing Foh’s steps, however, does not lead to the same conclusion that the woman’s desire is adversarial. Instead, this paper will use the evidence presented to propose that the woman’s desire in Genesis 3:16c is a shocking reversal of what should have resulted from sin. Rather than the woman’s desire causing disruption in marriage, it evidences God’s grace, allowing for continuity despite the disruption that has occurred.

God also gave them the assignment of procreating. Happy marriages lead to happy homes. Children who are raised in happy homes become good members of the society. But the devil does not like any person to be happy. Hence, he attacks homes. If parents are fighting each other, they would not have time to raise godly children. Couples who feel that their marriages are under siege and are willing to make efforts to save same seek christian counsellors. Christian counsellors seek a change in behaviour from the persons involved using the words of God. They believe that the word of God is the final authority and has the power to address every human problem. They seek to change people walking in error into people working with the scriptures.

God also gave them the assignment of procreating. Happy marriages lead to happy homes. Children who are raised in happy homes become good members of the society. But the devil does not like any person to be happy. Hence, he attacks homes. If parents are fighting each other, they would not have time to raise godly children. Couples who feel that their marriages are under siege and are willing to make efforts to save same seek christian counsellors. Christian counsellors seek a change in behaviour from the persons involved using the words of God. They believe that the word of God is the final authority and has the power to address every human problem. They seek to change people walking in error into people working with the scriptures. These errors are what cause trouble in different marriages and homes. The knowing and correct application of the true words of the Bible lead to lives changing. The immediate effect is that couples are reconciled. Consequentially, peace is restored in homes and the homes become happier again.

There is little within the work itself that gives clarity on authorship, date, or provenance. It’s literary form is also highly debated. Traditionally, the Song has been attributed to King Solomon who reigned over Israel in the 9th century B.C. Modern scholars have rejected this view and replaced it with that of an anonymous author. However, there is general agreement that the work was written during the Solomonic era, but toward the end of his reign or shortly after his death. <br /> Further difficulty lies in the characters found within the Song. Some interpreters view only two characters although most modern scholars affirm the presence of three. The former view sees the maiden and her husband Solomon while the latter see the maiden, her lover the shepherd, and Solomon. Within the three-character understanding, the king is pursuing the maiden but her loyalty lies with her true love, the shepherd, who lacks the wealth and royalty of Solomon. Many interpretations have been presented that are dependent upon one’s view of the number of characters.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/45214346" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="971ca2d76fc2e912598556c769f91571" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":65794375,"asset_id":45214346,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/65794375/download_file?st=MTc0MDg2NTYzNyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="184964670" href="https://independent.academia.edu/ChristaShafer">Christa Shafer</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="184964670" type="text/json">{"id":184964670,"first_name":"Christa","last_name":"Shafer","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"ChristaShafer","display_name":"Christa Shafer","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/ChristaShafer?f_ri=803159","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/184964670/51646939/39728790/s65_christa.shafer.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_45214346 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="45214346"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 45214346, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_45214346", });

This is more so since there are a few of them in the New Testament (Eph 5,22-6,9; Col 3,18-4,1; Tit 2,1-10 and 1 Pet 2,13-3,7). The main difficulty that one encounters while reading them is that they stress a lower status of women, expressed in the idea of “subjection”. The “Marriage Table” in 1 Pet 3,1-7, which is examined in the article, adds two aspects to the aforementioned interpretational problem: the religious diversity of spouses (mixed marriages) and, following it, violence. Numerous preachers accept a literal interpretation of the text, arguing that a woman in a marriage with an aggressive husband should endure the violence. A contextual and intertextual reading, however, leads us to discover that the heroic act of sacrifice for the sake of the husband’s conversion is not obligatory, but should be treated as an act of free will. Therefore a woman’s voluntary submission as well as her being a victim of aggression for a greater good can subscribe to an idea of agape which Paul mentions in the “Marriage Table” of Eph 5,21-33.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/46940241" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="04df8fd4511c8d3290db73f6c70b7b25" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":66299554,"asset_id":46940241,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/66299554/download_file?st=MTc0MDg2NTYzNyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="189367173" href="https://uksw.academia.edu/CollectaneaTheologica">Collectanea Theologica</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="189367173" type="text/json">{"id":189367173,"first_name":"Collectanea","last_name":"Theologica","domain_name":"uksw","page_name":"CollectaneaTheologica","display_name":"Collectanea Theologica","profile_url":"https://uksw.academia.edu/CollectaneaTheologica?f_ri=803159","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/189367173/53435387/41562610/s65_collectanea.theologica.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_46940241 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="46940241"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 46940241, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_46940241", });

Paweł był człowiekiem swoich czasów. Nieobca mu była myśl filozoficzna, zwłaszcza stoicka, wszak dorastał w mieście na wskroś wielokulturowym, w którym idee wschodnie przenikały się z fi-lozofią grecką, judaizm współistniał z religiami pogańskimi, zaś synagogi działały w bliskości gimna-zjonów. Młodemu Pawłowi bliskie zatem były idee świata greckiego oraz związane z nimi pojęcia. Jednym z nich jest pomniejsza cnota, którą bez trudu odnaleźć można w tekstach filozoficznych, mia-nowicie ἐγκράτεια. Ten grecki termin tłumaczy się zazwyczaj poprzez „samodyscyplinę” bądź „wstrzemięźliwość”.

Paweł był człowiekiem swoich czasów. Nieobca mu była myśl filozoficzna, zwłaszcza stoicka, wszak dorastał w mieście na wskroś wielokulturowym, w którym idee wschodnie przenikały się z fi-lozofią grecką, judaizm współistniał z religiami pogańskimi, zaś synagogi działały w bliskości gimna-zjonów. Młodemu Pawłowi bliskie zatem były idee świata greckiego oraz związane z nimi pojęcia. Jednym z nich jest pomniejsza cnota, którą bez trudu odnaleźć można w tekstach filozoficznych, mia-nowicie ἐγκράτεια. Ten grecki termin tłumaczy się zazwyczaj poprzez „samodyscyplinę” bądź „wstrzemięźliwość”. W Listach Pawła odnaleźć go można w trzech miejscach bezpośrednio (1 Kor 7, 9; 9, 25; Ga 5, 23), choć i pośrednie realizacje tej idei są możliwe do uchwycenia. Okazuje się, że o ἐγκράτεια wspomina Paweł w tych samych kontekstach, co współcześni mu filozofowie, zwłaszcza Muzoniusz Rufus i Epiktet.
