The Complex of Androcentrism and the Mystery of Omoousion Other

Stavros S. Fotiou

The mystery of the one-triune God sheds light onto the mystery of the one dyadic human being. In their union, man and woman experience life as a loving communion, which means, as a mutual indwelling of difference and unity. The Fall brought about an adversarial existence between man and woman and set gender as a priority over personhood. Male-centredness lowers the woman into an idol or an object, thus dehumanizing or deper sonalizing her. Christ restores the relationship of man and woman as a mystery where the absolute otherness of the persons, but also their indi visible unity are both elevated at the same time.
