Marie de Gournay et son interprétation d’imago Dei – à la recherche du nouveau sens de la notion biblique

Résumé

In The Equality of Men and Women, Marie de Gournay opens up new perspectives, while also elaborating on biblical and theological interpretations. It is interesting to study her commentary on the biblical passage on the creation of man and woman as well as her scriptural analyzes. How do they fit into the tradition of theological controversy? Are her explanations based on other texts that were the benchmark for women’s champions and detractors? Are Gournay’s interpretations within the framework of the deconstruction of traditional formulas or, to the contrary, a new explanation based on female religious sensibility?
