Trade Review
The research is sound and the scholarship strong.... [Women with a Mission] is a model for probing the political and social activism of other clusters of women and men. The authors handle religion deftly and responsibly, and they manifest awareness of congregational life and the factors that enter into the interplay between congregation and pastor. - Edith L. Blumhofer, series editor, Wheaton College
