The critique of feminism on traditional christian theology: an analysis from Qur’ānic perspective
Adibah Abdul Rahim1, Nadzrah Ahmad2.
The study attempts to highlight feminists’ critics against traditional Christian theology on women.
Traditional Cristian theology or known as Biblical or Christian patriarchy by the feminists has allegedly
been studied and comprehended from a patriarchal perspective of male dominance hence
misrepresentation of female scriptural image within the Bible. In this study, feminists’ critics on issue
pertaining to women in the Bible were selected and analyzed its specifics before scrutinized further from
Qur’anic point of view. The study finds that despite the feminists’ claim of image defamation of women
in the Bible, the Qur’ān on the other hand represented its female subjects in the most acceptable nondiscriminative manner. Women as depicted in the Qur’ān were purged of any offensive and denounced
outcomes of their own existence and nature. Utilizing scriptural-textual analysis method, the study
embarks on deriving points of comparison between the two scriptures highlighting agreements and
discrepancies of both texts.
