Humanity, dignity, authority, role, and the position of women in society have always been controversial. Some communities and cultures across the globe have cultural practices and norms that look down upon women, portraying them as the weaker sex whose opinion is of no value in decision-making. Other religions represent women as the ultimate source of evil and even forbidden from serving in the house of worship or mixing with men during the worship programs. On the contrary, women activists have emerged to defend the position of women and their role in priestly ministries. Therefore, there is a need to revisit the Bible and critically analyze these different views with the sole purpose of coming up with a common understanding of the position of women, as depicted in the Old Testament. This paper aims to analyze two different articles that portray two different attributes of women, as portrayed in the Old Testament. The aim is to develop a common understanding of the position of women in the Old Testament. The two articles are:  1. Rooke, Deborah W. “Feminist Criticism of the Old Testament: Why Bother?” Feminist Theology 15.2 (2007): 160-174. Print.  2. Everhart, Janet S. “Serving Women and the Their Mirrors: A Feminist Reading of Exodus 38:8b.” The Catholic Biblical Quarterly 1.66 (2004): 44-54. Print. Rooke D.W. Perspective of Women Summary Rooke’s argument on the position of women in society is mainly based on the story of creation and the fall of man, as presented in the book of Genesis Chapters 2 and 3. In establishing the background for her argument, Rooke argues that texts are always subjected to multiple interpretations, and the analysis is predominantly determined by the reader, who is always guided by cultural and personal standards. She argues that an analysis that finally appears convincing to us is guided by our preconceptions, life experiences, and our cultural conditioning (Rooke 161). Based on this, Rooke argues that Genesis chapters 2 and 3 will undoubtedly appear to support the subordination of women for those who have been brought up believing that women are inferior to men. However, if one refuses to follow the traditional way of thinking and seeks to analyze the chapters from a feminine point of view, they will get a new light from these passages and eventually have a different perspective of women (Rooke 162). According to Genesis chapters 2 and 3, sin enters the world through a woman. Therefore, a woman is commonly considered to be a vessel through which sin gained access to the world. In some arguments, it is argued that the snake chose a woman because it knew that the woman was weak and could easily succumb to lies. Rooke, on the other hand, rubbishes this claim and argues that the woman is not responsible for the sin problem, but God is. Rather than blaming the woman, Rooke puts the responsibility to God for two reasons: God lied to humanity that the day they will eat of the fruit, they will die. Secondly, God wrongly punished the snake for telling the truth and unmasking the hidden character of God. She argues that the assumption that God is always right is wrong, and just like the subordination of women, the assumption is also culturally conditioned (Rooke 163)
