Człowiek jako mężczyzna i kobieta. Fundamenty antropologii biblijnej, ich źródła i konsekwencje
Humanity as Man and Woman. Fundamental Biblical Anthropology, its Sources and Consequences

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the two descriptions of the creation of man (Gen chap. 1 and chap. 2-3). In analyzing these verses, emphasis is placed on the fact that both descriptions stress that humankind was created as man and woman. The dual-gender nature of mankind is evoked in the two passages in the biological and religious dimensions (Gen 1:26-28) as well as the social (Gen 2:18-25). The two sexes are equal to each other in each of these aspects. People fully achieve their calling to live and cooperate with God only as a man and a woman. One’s ability to establish relationships is most fully expressed only within the sexual diversity of our species. This occurs in the biological dimension (fertility enabling us to subdue the earth) as well as the intellectual and spiritual (woman as the “suitable helper”).
