A Biblical Study Guide for Equal Pulpits

“A century after women’s suffrage, women still exist under a glass ceiling in American society, which is unfortunately still being scripturally justified within some ecclesial . . . communities. Hertig and her friends . . . help us see that the biblical message is even better news for women than the so-called gospel preached from predominantly male pulpits. Come, Holy Spirit—move afresh upon men and women, young and old, American and Asian—with a new Pentecost!”


—Amos Yong, Fuller Theological Seminary





“This book is a delightful collection of works that successfully integrates personal stories with scholarly analyses, leading the reader to rediscover new insights from various biblical texts. . . . I strongly recommend A Biblical Study Guide for Equal Pulpits as a wonderful tool for pastors, teachers, and seminary students, or simply for anyone who wants to study the Bible in a new way.”


—Loida I. Martell, Lexington Theological Seminary





“I am very grateful for A Biblical Study Guide for Equal Pulpits. This collective work by respected practitioner scholars of the Asian American and Latina communities samples homiletics, biblical exegesis, and pulpit ministry otherwise. . . . It helps us reposition our biblical readings in the ultimate reality of an equitable God, as supposed to binaries designed to support a hierarchical Eurocentric pulpit.”


—Oscar García-Johnson, Fuller Theological Seminary





“Hertig’s A Biblical Study for Equal Pulpits persuasively argues that women of color who are preachers and teachers are the future of the prophetic Christian movement. It’s a must-read in our churches, colleges, and faith-rooted justice movements!”


—Peter Goodwin Heltzel, Boston University School of Theology
