Abstract
Preaching has fallen on hard times and is an unfashionable art. It is also a heavily male gendered cultural form, associated with strong voices, thumping rhetoric and a particularly didactic form of pedagogy. The pulpit is a space which has been, until only very recent times, defined by male presence. Many of the newly authorised and ordained women preachers in today's church preach with some reluctance and say that they prefer pastoral work. However, it is possible for preaching to be re-shaped by women, by using the pulpit as a place where they may become the producers and not only the consumers of theology. Like the biblical Judith, women may be able to launch a radical challenge to the male-defined ways of doing and voicing theology. Finding ways to preach in a re-defined pulpit, they may begin to enjoy themselves and participate in the regendering of preaching and the re-casting of gender and faith.
