Exploring the place of women in early church life and ministry. This tract examines biblical texts and historical commentary to weigh what the scriptures say about women speaking in church and teaching others. It presents a line of reasoning that allows for women to edify, exhort, and comfort the faith community, including moments when extraordinary spiritual moments influenced practice.
The work engages with tensions around silence, subjection, and authority, offering a careful reading of key passages and a practical discussion of how these ideas played out in 18th‑century Methodism. It also looks at how notable figures, like John Wesley and his family, interpreted women’s preaching and its impact on ministry and outreach.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the question of whether women can be preachers, citing historical and scriptural evidence to support the idea that they can. The author argues that the Bible does not forbid women from preaching, and that in fact, there are many examples of women preaching in the early church. The book also discusses the objections to women preaching, and argues that these objections are not valid. The author concludes by asserting that women have just as much right to preach as men, and that they should be allowed to do so without hindrance. This book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion about women's role in the church, and it provides a strong biblical case for allowing women to preach.
