「女性與講道」從八十年代開始是北美當代講道中一個重要的主題。相較於北美教會在這方面的研究及成果，它對亞洲的華人教會而言仍是一個不太被重視或探討的課題，儘管女性傳道人的人數不斷增加。在本文中，作者採用講道學方法論，把焦點放在「女性講道者」這個要素上，整理出當代講道學討論中所涵蓋的一些重要內容，包括：聲音（voice）作為一種比喻、誰可以講道、女性講道者不同的講道聲音，以及女性講道者如何找着自己的聲音。期待藉由此論文能喚起華人教會對這個主題的關注，進而帶動學者能從各個不同領域對這個主題的研究，以補足亞洲華人教會在這方面的不足。在本文的最後，筆者進一步提出北美當代講道學帶給亞洲華人教會之啟發。

ABSTRACT

“Women and preaching” has been an important theme in contemporary preaching in North America since the 1980s. Compared with the research and achievements of the church in North America, it is still a topic that is not much emphasized or discussed for the Chinese church in Asia, regardless of the rising number of woman ministers. In this article, the author adopts a homiletic method and focuses on the element of “woman preacher,” sorting out some important issues covered in contemporary homiletical discussions, including voice as a metaphor, shall women preach, woman preachers’ different preaching voice, and how woman preachers find their own voice. It is hoped that this paper will draw more attention to this subject, and in turn encourage more scholars to study it from various fields so as to complement the insufficiency in Christian scholarship in the Chinese church of Asia. At the end of this article, the author further proposes what the Chinese church in Asia can learn from contemporary preaching in North America.
