A unique study of clergywomen in the Church of England, this work represents a benchmark for charting the similarities and differences between the institution’s female pioneers and their successors. With roots in both theology and psychology, this book uses personality theory to examine the individual differences in the ministry of clergywomen.
Reviews
“. . . addresses an important, interesting and popular topic, and one which benefits greatly from the illumination given by an analysis in terms of the psychological profile of female clergy.”
– Prof. J. Astley, University of Durham
“In the light of this original and pioneering study, future research into women clergy which ignores the formative influence of personality will be deemed inadequate.” – Prof. Leslie J. Francis, University of Warwick
