In any event, you may be interested in what I call the "condensed version" of the book, an article by Dr. C.S. Cowles which I host online....

In Praise of Women Preachers:

"In Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:26-28, emphasis added).
