Book Description
In most twenty-first century congregations, women outnumber men by as much as fifty percent or more. Unfortunately, masculine anecdotes and a lack of understanding of the different ways women and men listen, learn, and perceive ideas of leadership and power leave many women feeling detached from the messages conveyed from the pulpit. How can a pastor effectively minister to both men and women? How do the ways in which women understand sermons differ from those of men? Preaching That Speaks to Women invites preachers to consider how gender affects the way sermons are understood and calls them to preaching that relates to the entire congregation. Drawing from her experience as a teacher of ministry students, as well as her experience as a missionary, conference speaker, and radio Bible teacher, Alice Mathews explores both the myths and legitimate boundaries for speaking about women as listeners. She considers the ways women think about themselves, make ethical decisions, handle stress, learn, and view leadership and power and applies the results to the task of preaching. Mathews advocates effective preaching that does not ignore women or merely typecast women in narrowly defined roles.

Book Description
Should women who preach, preach as women? Preaching Women argues that far from being a gender-neutral space, the pulpit is a critical place in which a gender imbalance can begin to be redressed. There is a vital need for women preachers to speak out of their experience of living as women in today’s culture and church Filling a glaring gap in the literature around homiletics, Filling a glaring gap in the literature around homiletics, Preaching Women considers reasons why women preachers should preach from their experiences as women, what women bring to preaching that is missing without us, and how women preachers can go about the task of biblical preaching. With a foreword by Libby Lane.

Book Description
In this postmodern age, women preachers are finding their "voice" a distinctive way of proclamation. This book looks at the metaphor of voice, how women are moving to voice from silence, and how individuals can make themselves heard by those who don't want to hear.

Book Description
"Studying the women of the Bible is a necessary and much-needed activity," says Lisa Wilson Davison. "It is the only way to right the wrongs of sexist interpretations of the Bible and the resulting oppression of women." Combining biblical exegesis with archaeological findings and the practice of midrash, Davison uncovers and brings to the forefront the roles that women have played in the development of faith. She shows us how much our foremothers have to teach us about living in relationship with God and one another. From the familiar-Mary and the mothers of Moses-to the relatively unknown-the daughter of Jephthah and Huldah, Preaching the Women of the Bible proclaims a more complete faith story and enriches our understanding. Davison focuses on ten women whose contributions have been overlooked or under represented. For each she provides an exegetical introduction to the text, historical and cultural context, insights for sermons, and a sample sermon.

Book Description
Some church organizations do not believe that women can preach, pastor a church, or lead in church ministry. What does the Bible say? The Lord really showed this to me, because these same questions came into our church office. As I began to look into God’s Word, I got really excited about it. It’s something that needs to be confirmed to all churches today. This message deals with the call of women to preach the gospel and work in leadership within the church. So perk up, ladies, and listen, men, because we have to understand spiritually, where we all fit in. This is important to know and to allow that grace of God to move in every one of our lives. This issue in the church world needs to be addressed once and for all. Should women have the right to preach or teach in the church?

It will be an inspiration to all who suffer from the legacy of constraints on female speech."—Carole Slade, author of St. Teresa of Avila "The essays are individually inspiring and collectively interdisciplinary. . . . A powerful contribution to the history of preaching and public discourse."—Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, author of Jesus: Miriam's Child, Sophia's Prophet

Book Description
A fresh approach to the hot-button topic of women in ministry Based on his study of a key word for “teaching” in the New Testament—an activity often thought to be prohibited to women—and on various other kinds of public speaking in which women in Scripture clearly participated, scholar John Dickson builds a case for women preachers. This expanded edition of Hearing Her Voice, published originally as a short ebook, presents an entirely new and convincing biblical argument. Focused and purposefully limited in its conclusions, Dickson’s case has the potential to change minds and merits careful consideration by complementarians and egalitarians alike. This book will be useful for pastors, Bible teachers, college and seminary students, professors, and lay leaders who wrestle with the topic of women’s roles in ministry, and it will appeal to many with its fresh approach to this hot-button topic.
