For nearly two millennia, despite repeated prohibitions, Christian
women have preached. Some have preached in official settings;
others have found alternative routes for expression. Prophecy,
teaching, writing, and song have all filled a broad definition of
preaching. This anthology, with essays by an international group of
scholars from several disciplines, investigates the diverse voices
of Christian women who claimed the authority to preach and
prophesy. The contributors examine the centuries of arguments,
grounded in Pauline injunctions, against women's public speech and
the different ways women from the early years of the church through
the twentieth century have nonetheless exercised religious
leadership in their communities. Some of them based their authority
solely on divine inspiration; others were authorized by
independent-minded communities; a few were even recognized by the
church hierarchy. With its lively accounts of women preachers and
prophets in the Christian tradition, this exceptionally
well-documented collection will interest scholars and general
readers alike.
