Was doing some studying and came across this book.

As I flipped I was interested in reading what this person thought—and my, what an introduction.

This is dangerous, dehumanizing, and wrong.

This is why we need women interpreting, teaching, and training men.

This ain’t it.
There is no Moses without the midwives.

There is no leader for the people without Deborah.

There is no word from the Lord without Huldah.

There is no birth of redemption without Mary.

And there is no witness today without the WOMEN!

Patriarchy doesn’t have the final say!
Years after these women bore witness, many Christian communities still restrict women in real ways.

However, as @WilGafney writes, the “text presents female prophets leading the people of God and proclaiming the word of God unremarkably, as part of the natural order of things.”
Today more than ever do we need the radical, revolutionary, and loving imagination of our sisters—those brilliant womanist and feminist scholars, pastors and theologians, activist and intellectuals.

God will not be bound.

God will bear witness in our sister’s testifying!
