Are there any solid reformed Biblical female teachers ? I would like to start listening to sermons for women by women, but am not really able to find much at all...

solid reformed Biblical female teachers .... oxymoron?

LOL. I've never heard of such a thing. If they were reformed, they woudn't be preaching. So, I would say no. There is no such thing as a "solid reformed female preacher." (Which by the way is unbiblical.)

Solidly reformed and female teachers? The Reformed understanding of ecclesiastical authority is that women have not been appointed as teachers in the Church. Is there any reason why you don't want to listen to sermons for women by men?

Before we jump, gents...let's find out what she may mean. Sometimes things can be worded in such a way that appears different than that which is meant.

Jenn, are you speaking of teachers in the church, female preachers, or just women that speak and write for women outside of formal teaching within the church?

I don't see how it was "jumping." She said she was looking for "sermons" by "female teachers." What other context would a teacher who is giving sermons fall under?

If they are truly Reformed......you will not find them. We do find in the English Reformation, women who did teach other women (those new to the faith in particular) this still does happen.......as far as a woman wielding a large audience within the context of teaching/preaching.....that can become dangerous ground. In a Church or home Bible study I have no problems with women using Church approaved material for that. Beyond that issues that are far from orthodox can pop up. It is an issue that must be broached with care and prayer. Grace and Peace

I do not believe that women have authority over men, which is why i said women for women. I didn't say pastor or whatever titles there may be....

I will rephrase - a woman who teaches women. That happens ... There are women who teach women like Nancy Leigh Demoss and Beth Moore...

Women that speak and write for women outside of formal teaching within the church...

Jenn, the ladies in my church go through books written by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I think that Joni Erikson Tada is Calvinistic?

I will again repeat... I do not support women pastors. Even before I was Reformed, I did not... I'd say ask before you assume...

Yep!

Yes Joni Eareckson Tada is.

But does anyone know any other ladies ? Thank you.

Well, we did ask. It was the term preachers in the title line that threw us off.

Hi Josh! Tada's father was an Anglican Priest (REC), her teaching is pretty much of a devotional nature, she does not try to "grab the pulpit".

Jenn,

With all due respect, you said "sermons" and the word "preachers" was in the title of the post. Sermons are given by pastors, and preachers are pastors. I don't think our responses were unwarranted "assumptions." I can't speak for anyone else, but I was just trying to answer gently based on the info that you provided in the OP.

That is what I thought, Jenn (you might want to edit your thread title though, it says "Preachers") Nancy Leigh DeMoss I highly recommend. Beth Moore, I do not. Elisabeth George and Elisabeth Elliot I so far also recommend.

Off hand, I'm not sure of any.

Colleen and some of the other ladies will probably be able to point you to some invaluable resources.

Blessings to you this Lord's Day!

Thanks LF.

Not a problem, hon. Jenny Chancey is another I highly recommend. She runs the Ladies Against Feminism site (ladiesagainstfeminism.com). There are plenty of articles there. I will look up the other sites later or you can google them...I'm in VA at a friend's house right now.

Thank you; I really appreciate it, sis

Sorry if I was snippy to anyone as well...

Sure, Colleen get's a thank you, sis. What do I get?

Oh, just joshin' around.

likewise

Wow! All that to get a few answers.

I actually like reading stuff that Starr Meade writes on the education and catechism of children.

I don't know who wrote The Excellent Wife but my wife has shared with me what the woman writes and it is Biblically sound.
