Paul and Feminism

Author(s):  
Kathy Ehrensperger

Paul and feminism are an uneasy pair, but feminist interpretation has played a pioneering role in demonstrating the social location and cultural embeddedness of Paul and the Pauline literature. Feminist interpretations of Pauline texts can broadly be categorized as ‘thematic’ or ‘structural’. Thematic interpretations focus specifically on women’s issues and intend to uncover women’s hidden voices and unveil arguments and strategies by which women are kept silent, rendered invisible, or marginalized by dominating hierarchical power structures. In addition, Paul’s social location as a member of a marginalized people, the Jews, is here considered important in assessing the significance of his theologizing in light of feminist issues. Structural approaches investigate the rhetorical drive, the power dynamics, the terminology and metaphors in Pauline argumentation. The divergent images of Paul emerging from such diverse feminist approaches indicate that no one ‘true’ Pauline voice concerning the role of women or way of doing theology can be found, but a plurality of feminist interpretations has emerged.

The tradition of rewang in Javanese society denotes the preparation and production of meals, a custom performed primarily by women. As a cultural value, rewang reflects an ideal standard for the role of women. In this essay, an assessment of the role of women is deployed to explore the meaning of work and, at the same time, to surface an understanding of hospitality that is based on the tradition of rewang, in order to demonstrate social meaning and values from the rewang tradition. Within this tradition, the meaning of work begins necessarily with remembering just how important is each person’s role. For members of the Javanese community, participation according to the rewang tradition shows the importance of strengthening blood-relationship with others (termed silaturahmi in Bahasa Indonesia). It is this blood-relation that serves as core value within the rewang tradition, such that rewang becomes a model for being community within the social context of Indonesia. By employing a perspective of rewang, this essay thus attempts to demonstrate how hospitality can serve as a basis for the identity of presence concerning the Javanese community.
