Perempuan Pemberita: Interpretasi Lukas 24:1-12 dari Perspektif Feminis Elizabeth Fiorenza sebagai Upaya Kesetaraan Gender

Abstract

This article begins with a statement that the narrative of the resurrection of Jesus in Luke 24:1–12 not only contains theological dimensions but also reflects the dynamics of gender relations in a patriarchal cultural context. The main objective of this study is to reinterpret the text in order to highlight the active role of women and to critique the patriarchal system that has marginalized their existence in the discourse of church ministry. The methodology used is a feminist hermeneutic approach referring to the thoughts of Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, particularly through the application of a hermeneutic of suspicion as a critical reading tool for power relations within the text. Thus, the central argument of this writing emphasizes that women in Luke 24:1–12 emerge as subjects exhibiting perseverance, initiative, and faithfulness in ministry, thus deserving recognition and an equal role alongside men in the realm of gospel proclamation. This interpretation highlights the importance of gender equality and encourages the need for structural reforms in church services that are more inclusive of women's involvement.
