  • CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY and the LIBERATION of EVE a Thesis
    CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY AND THE LIBERATION OF EVE A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Jennifer Emily Sims, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 1, 2016 CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY AND THE LIBERATION OF EVE Jennifer Emily Sims, B.A. MALS Mentor: Theresa Sanders, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Christian Patriarchy is a set of beliefs held by many conservative Christians that outlines gender roles based on a literal interpretation of scripture. These gender roles, also referred to as biblical manhood and biblical womanhood, dictate the hierarchy of authority where Christ is the head of the household, the husband is the head of the wife. Children are primed at a very young age to demonstrate the tenets of biblical manhood and biblical womanhood, but for young girls, their paths are strictly laid out for them to marry, birth many Godly children, and serve their husbands. The fundamentalist reading of Genesis 2-3 is used to justify female submission via Eve’s creation and subsequent role in the Fall of Humanity. This evangelical interpretation uses Genesis 2-3 as the foundational text to first justify women as subordinate based on creation order, and secondly justify women’s submission on Eve’s role in the Fall of Humanity. By using biblical interpretations to subordinate the woman’s position vis-à-vis her husband, women in these conservative Christian homes are locked into this role with little chance to follow a different path, and are often dependent on a dominant male figure for survival.

  • Should Christians Use Birth Control?
    STATEMENT DE-194 SHOULD CHRISTIANS USE BIRTH CONTROL? by H. Wayne House Summary Christian couples are pulled in different directions by people, movements, and circumstances on the issue of whether to have children. Some believe that no birth control should be used, whereas others maintain that a couple may properly choose never to have children at all. Most stand somewhere in the middle. The secular birth control movement glorifies small families while many Christians decry all use of conception-control devices or procedures. The Bible provides a balance. It exalts the bearing of children while recognizing that one’s duties in the world may limit the number of children borne or delay childbearing as husband and wife seek to fulfill the mandate of bei ng stewards over creation. The matter of birth control has been a concern of married couples for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. In recent times, with modern technology developing easier and more sophisticated methods of birth control, it has become commonplace in most Western nations for couples to use birth control (which includes conception control and abortion) to limit the size of their families. 1 Christians in all ages have generally practiced some form of birth control, whether through medica l devices or by more natural means, such as restricting intercourse to certain periods of the month or through coitus interruptus. Though the Roman Catholic church declared birth control a violation of natural law in the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (1965), most Protestants have considered some forms of birth control morally acceptable. Recently, however, Mary Pride and other evangelical Christians have denounced such procedures as sinful.

Available at: http://scholarship.claremont.edu/lux/vol2/iss1/11 Denson: Quiverfull: Conservative Christian Women and Empowerment in the Home Denson 1 Quiverfull: Conservative Christian Women and Empowerment in the Home Juliana Denson Claremont Graduate University School of Religion Abstract What is commonly referred to as “The Quiverfull Movement” is defined by its particular brand of “neo-fundamentalist” Christianity that advocates leaving family planning entirely up to God by refusing to use contraception, medical treatments, or, oftentimes, even natural family planning to prevent or control pregnancy and also tends to promote female submission to male headship. Although it has attracted increasing attention from the media and the ire of feminists, it has yet to receive scholarly attention. In this essay, I attempt to present a fair, non- judgmental treatment of Quiverfull by seriously considering the experiences and words of Quiverfull-minded Christians, particularly Quiverfull women, who, of course, form the locus of feminist concern regarding this lifestyle.

While most Americans would agree that the accomplishments of the feminist movement have represented positive steps towards more universal freedom and equality, even generally-uncontroversial gains like access to birth control (other than abortion) are not without critics; the religious right, the pro-life movement, and some political conservatives are ambivalent at best about most forms of birth control, refusing to support institutions like

  • The Means of Reproduction
    The Means of Reproduction Interview with Silvia Federici By Lisa Rudman and Marcy Rein s a feminist activist, writer, and teacher, Silvia Federici engages and inspires students of all ages to fight for the lib - A eration of women and all beings. In 1972, Federici cofounded the International Feminist Collective, which launched the “Wages For Housework” campaign. While teaching and researching in Nigeria in the 1980s, she observed the specific impacts of globalization on women—and their similarities to the social disruption caused by the enclosure of the commons in the earliest days of capitalism. She became active in the anti-globalization move - ment and the U.S. anti-death-penalty movement, and cofounded the Committee for Academic Freedom in Africa. From 1987 to 2005 she taught international studies, women’s studies, and political philosophy at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY. Her books and essays span philosophy, feminist theory, women’s history, educa - tion, and culture, and more recently, the worldwide struggle against capitalist globalization and for a feminist reconstruction of the commons. Caliban and the Witch: Women, The Body and Primitive Accumulation , perhaps her best-known work, argues that capitalism depends on a constant supply of women’s unwaged labor. Federici sat down for this interview while she was on a tour to promote her new book, Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle (Common Notions ), a collection of essays written over the last forty years. In 55 conversation, Federici moves smoothly between history, theory, and present struggles, hardly stopping for breath, almost vibrating with concern and indignation.
