Most pastors speak to more woman than men every Sunday. This is a fact. If the differences between men and woman are as profound as Alice Matthews suggests, male preachers need to pay attention. This is not a book for woman preachers. This is a book for male preachers who are trying to understand how to speak to the woman who come to them to listen.
Of course truth is truth, no matter who preaches it. Still, when the preacher breaks out yet another football illustration, some of the woman in the crowd might justifiably roll their eyes. The issues are more profound, however, than this. Matthews deals with an array of issues including epistemology, postmodernity, spirituality, power, leadership, and identity.
The challenge, according to Matthews, is to locate authority in the Word of God, but to communicate that Word in ways that are sensitive to the ways of knowing experienced by men and women. This book is worth considering.
