Abstract

Religious knowledge is the knowledge acquired through the Scriptures and
formed according to them. One of the main elements of this knowledge is the Scripture's view concerning women. In order to attain their adherents'
opinion, we have studied, in this article, the Kur'an and the Bible, with a
focus on the story of creation, especially the humanity's tall. Comparing their
narration, its explicit and implicit meanings, we have tried to show their point
of divergene and agreement and to picture the implications and results of any
of these two narrations on their adherents' thoughts and to find the possible
roots of the pessimism, disgrace and even hostility which the societies
influenced by these narrations have shown towards women.
