Sažetak
The starting thesis is a premise posited by Peter L. Berger (2014), a sociologist of religion, and supported by historian Joan W. Scott, that the secular and the religious are not strictly separated. This argument enables to deconstruct the dichotomy of women's human rights according to which secularism = emancipation, while religion = oppression. The purpose of this lecture is to show how secular notions of women's nature became central to Christian and Islamic theological anthropology, even though the scriptures in both religious traditions provide a basis for egalitarian gender models. Secular ideas on the nature of women constitute the very core of oppressive attitudes towards women in these two religious traditions.This paper presents a theoretical analysis that is part of qualitative research preparation for the project Relational Gender Identities in Croatia: Modernization and Development Perspectives (GENMOD), Croatian Science Foundation.
