Genesis chapters two to three are passages frequently used to justify male superiority and domination over women. Dennis T. Olson‚ Phyllis Trible‚ Anne Clifford and many other biblical scholars have provided alternative interpretations of Genesis that work against the conventional androcentric reading.
