God created male and female

Stjepan Kušar

Abstract

The author provides a contribution to the theological anthropology of the sexes. The discussion starts from the book of Genesis in which woman is defined as the helpmate of man given to him by God. She is the joy of her husband and her value is equal to him as are her rights. However, in imperfect reality, the relations between the sexes have reached a crisis.
It is concluded that man is called upon to subdue nature while accountable to God, and he has been given mastery over creatures but not over people in the sense of subjugation.
The Bible designates the differences between men and women but also their mutual knowledge of each other. The partnership between a man and woman is achieved in polarity.
