Introduction
In the past few years, a feminist perspective has been brought to bear on Biblical texts. Some feminine analysts have accepted the view that a patriarchal focus is best used to interpret Biblical materials and, therefore, have developed critiques delineating narrow, exclusivistic Biblical views, in effect rejecting the validity of these texts for a feminist or inclusive understanding of God's relationship to humans. However, other feminists argue that, rightly viewed, the original texts support a non-sexist equality of religious and social experiences for both males and females. This latter approach has been termed "depatriarchalizing."(1)
