Letting the Other Speak - Proclaiming the Stories of Biblical Women

Letting the Other Speak helps pastors, Christian educators, professors, and theological students bring the stories of six controversial biblical women to congregations by surveying historical and contemporary exegetical work on each passage, modeling exegeting a congregation in preparation for moving from text to sermon, and providing two sample sermons, one prophetic and one pastoral, for each text.
