Blessing the Curse?: A Biblical Appro...
"When it comes to women, the church has chosen often to live according to the structures of sin and death, offering them not the good news of Christ, but the curse of Genesis, as their inheritance. Ksenija Magda traces the impact of the curse and the temptation to choose the world and its power over the servant-hearted humility of Christ. The question of how we view, treat, oppress or empower women is not peripheral to the gospel but foundational."
