Here is a book that will encourage and empower women preachers to preach as women, as feminist theologians and as those who will make a difference to the Church. It provides a step-by-step guide to approaching the Bible from a feminist standpoint with suggestions for how to develop your own voice as a preacher. Susan Durber gives advice on how to preach the lectionary, on how to find new angles on well-known texts and on how to challenge and recast well-established interpretations. To show how the theory works in practice she includes sample sermons from her own preach- ing. The book will inspire reluctant and tired preachers to seize an important challenge with new energy.

Reviews
"'This is a book which every woman preacher will value highly and from which every male preacher will learn a great deal. It succeeds in being at once fresh and sane, scholarly and lucid... I highly recommend this book both for its general themes and the actual examples of sermons preached, which can also be useful for personal meditation.' Richard Harries, retired Bishop of Oxford"
