By exploring the historical; theoretical; and practical elements of the tradition of testimony; Anna Carter Florence seeks in this much-anticipated book to establish the historical and contemporary validity of women's preaching and to introduce testimony to a new generation of preachers and teachers. She begins with the stories of three women whose preaching was often described as testimony: Anne Marbury Hutchinson; Sarah Osborn; and Jarena Lee. Then; she examines biblical and theological perspectives on testimony. Finally; she explores how testimony plays out in a preacher's life; offering constructive proposals for preaching as well as helpful guidelines; direction; and exercises.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good Introduction Book to Evangelical AmericalBy AndresI purchased it for class. It's a good introduction into Evangelical America (and what defines the term Evangelical). The author was raised Evangelical and readily admits it in the beginning of the book (it's his disclaimer); however; you can detect in some sections a bias towards non-secular beliefs. Having said that; it's still a good book for an overall picture of Evangelicalism in The States.
