She Preached the Word is a landmark study of women's ordination in contemporary American congregations. In this groundbreaking work, Benjamin R. Knoll and Cammie Jo Bolin draw upon a novel collection of survey data and personal narrative interviews to answer several important questions, including: Who supports women's ordination in their congregations? What are the most common reasons for and against women's ordination? What effect do female clergy have on young women and girls, particularly in terms of their psychological, economic, and religious empowerment later in life? How do women clergy affect levels of congregational attendance and engagement among members? What explains the persistent gender gap in America's clergy? Knoll and Bolin find that female clergy do indeed matter, but not always in the ways that might be expected. They show, for example, that while female clergy have important effects on women in the pews, they have stronger effects on theological and political liberals. Throughout this book, Knoll and Bolin discuss how the persistent gender gap in the wider economic, social, and political spheres will likely continue so long as women are underrepresented in America's pulpits. Accessible to scholars and general readers alike, She Preached the Word is a timely and important contribution to our understanding of the intersection of gender, religion, and politics in contemporary American society.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"She Preached the Word provides a detailed study of current attitudes in the US regarding the ordination of women in religious bodies. ... This book's conclusions are important for all who care about gender equity in life and religion in the US." -- CHOICE

"Knoll and Bolin are clear in their support of women's ordination and leadership across religious traditions, and She Preached the Word is a valuable contribution to this area of research." --Reading Religion

"Anyone who studies religion in America from any disciplinary direction should read She Preached the Word: Women's Ordination in Modern America. The book is also a must-read for any denominational or religious institution leader." --Reading Religion

"This book is a much-needed addition. In their thoughtfully argued and meticulously researched work, the authors offer a look at the social realities and political ramifications of the continuing influx of women into the ministry. At a time when women's opportunities for political leadership are expanding in general, this book is a welcome contribution."--Laura R. Olson, Professor of Political Science, Clemson University

"She Preached the Word is a wide-ranging, creative book that contributes in multiple ways to knowledge about female religious leadership. Its findings about how female clergy affect people in congregations-especially the women and girls-are especially original and compelling. This important book is a must-read for anyone who cares about gender equity in American religion, and who wants to know more about why it matters."--Mark Chaves, Professor of Sociology, Religious Studies, and Divinity, Duke University

"A needed re-examination of the issue of women's ordination after the elapse of several decades. Drawing upon literature not previously brought to the topic and placing their analysis and discussion within the context of initial research findings, this clearly written study utilizes a combination of different methodological approaches to examine both the factors shaping church-goers' support for women's ordination as well as the effects female clergy have on the religious attitudes and behavior of those in the pews."--Corwin E. Smidt, Calvin College

"The book is written for a scholarly or research-focused audience rather than an easy read for those wishing to be inspired by the ordination of women in modern America." -- Janet Starks, Kingswood University, Religious Studies Review
