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.
