Abstract

The aim of this project will be to assess the comparative relationship between Genesis 3:14-19 and other ancient Western Asian curse and creation myths. This project will then analyse the impact of that comparative relationship on a feminist interpretation of Genesis 3:14-19. It is the hope of this project to expound and advance the understanding of Genesis 3:14-19 as an aetiological addition to the Genesis 3 narrative. In doing so this work aims to offer a proposed reading of Genesis 3:14-19 which, not only has in mind other ancient Western Asian curse and creation myths, but also seeks to liberate and empower all women in their current contexts.
