Beskrivning
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 churchFilling 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.

Liz Shercliff has written the book we have all been waiting for-. It is not an extended argument for women preachers: the case has been well made for that, and Liz embodies this reality. Her book is instead a vital resource for women who are preachers, or preachers in the making. As such it is unique, insightful, encouraging and enormously valuable for ministry. When the tradition for preaching has been set through the centuries by men, women whom God has called into preaching need to reflect on how to find their own voice, and develop their own gifts. They need to discover how to be authentic in the power of the Holy Spirit, winsome in their story-telling, and prayerful in discernment so that people can find God in their sermons. Written with wonderful doses of personal experience, Liz’s book breaks new ground in opening up the power of biblical preaching, and speaks very directly to her readers. I believe it will be an essential part of future training, and commend it hugely.
