Phillips Brooks, author of the carol O Little Town of Bethlehem,
was the rector of the Trinity Episcopal Church in Boston for 22
years and the Bishop of Massachusetts for 15 months until his death
in 1893. This volume in the Great American Orators series focuses
on Brooks' oratorical style and the public's response to his
rhetoric. Chesebrough provides a biographical sketch of Brooks'
life emphasizing the development and use of his oratorical skills
and placing him within the secular and ecclesiastical contexts of
his times. Attention is given to Brooks' development as a public
speaker and to his manner of sermon preparation and delivery. Three
of Brooks' sermons are printed in their entirety: Abraham Lincoln,
The Cradle of the Lord, and Help from the Hills, preceded by
introductory remarks and a brief analysis of the sermon. This
examination of Brooks' rhetoric will appeal to scholars of rhetoric
and of American theology and American religious history, especially
Episcopal history.
