Assumptions of gender ideology caused a lot of heated disputes among representatives of different directions in the humanities. The paper is an attempt to look at this issue in the light of the biblical message. However, to talk about gender in the light of the Bible, one must first explain the genesis and meaning of this phenomenon, which is presented in the first chapter of the article (I). The next chapter contains the assessment of gender ideology by the representatives of the Catholic Church in Poland (II). The last chapter of this paper is an analysis of the status of women in the family and in the society in the light of the Bible (III). The biblical depiction of women could be an important argument for the proper understanding of the ontological nature of woman and her place in the family, and thus a basis for the proper assessment of gender.
