Summary

The main focus of this book is on gender differences in seminarians goals, religious practice and beliefs, and experiences as prospective ministers. Based on an in-depth and extensive study of one Presbyterian seminary in the mid 1990s, the book addresses the question of whether gender affects the experiences, beliefs, and practices of men and women who seek clergy careers.
