Preaching The Women Of The Bible
(Chalice) by Lisa Wilson Davison is an attempt, in the author’s
words, “to give voice to some of the female characters in the Bible,
specifically through the spoken word of the sermon.” While the preacher
will find useful insights and ideas for preaching here, the
evangelical reader will quickly become aware that this work is
flavored by a feminist hermeneutic of suspicion that impacts how
Davison (a professor of Old Testament at Lexington Theological
Seminary) handles the biblical material.
