Pindel, Roman2022-12-122022-12-122003Polonia Sacra, 2003, R. 7 (25), Nr 13 (57), s. 281-297.1428-5673http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/2132The paper assesses the presence of a feminist approach in John Paul Il's statements, as seen in his texts dealing with the event of Exodus. To begin with, however, three trends of a feminist theology as presented in a document An Interpretation of The Bible in Church are dealt with. To illustrate the case, two examples of a feminist approach are recalled: the one expressing the neo-orthodox trend and a critical one. In a popular science commentary of A. Spreafico concerning the Book of Exodus there appeared many important notions which stress the role of women in objecting to homicidal plans of the pharaoh and in saving Moses' life. In a contemporary pseudo-epigraph written by E. Schirmer the neoorthodox feminist trend takes over, which enables the reader to get acquainted with events known from the Bible, but formulated in a way which can be termed: “What would happen if Miriam's notes were found when she experienced such perplexities as are now shared by some feminist theologians.” John Paul Il's statements recalled in this context show a different kind of feminist sensitivity, based on the Biblical anthropology, whose core is the Gospel and the first chapters of the Book of Genesis. As a result of reviewing various statements of the pope on the subject of Genesis it can be concluded that it does not belong to the leading ones or the ones undertaken with predilection. The history of redemption, Christocentrism, Virgin Mary, the Decalogue and the Covenant are all essential keys, which John Paul II stresses.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/Jan Paweł IIKarol WojtyłapapieżeBibliaPismo Świętefeminizminterpretacja BibliiKościółkobietagodnośćteologiaKsięga WyjściaWjMiriamhermeneutyka podejrzeńJohn Paul IIpopesBiblefeminisminterpretation of the BibleChurchwomandignitytheologyBook of Exodushermeneutic of suspicionclergypriesthoodkapłaniduchowieństwoStary TestamentOld TestamentinterpretacjainterpretationArticle
