Why did God make Eve from Adam?

Kaitlyn Schiess
About this episode

The story of Adam and Eve has often been used to argue that men were created to lead and women were created to assist. But does Genesis actually say that? Kaitlyn looks more closely at the two creation accounts, the meaning of the word "helper," and why Eve's creation from Adam's side is meant to emphasize their shared humanity rather than her inferiority.
