In Rhetoric of the Protestant Sermon in America: The Pulpit at the
Turn of the Millennium, ten scholars analyze notable sermons from
the fifty-year span between 1965 and 2015, during which the
Protestant sermon has undergone significant change in the United
States. Contributors examine how this turbulent time period
witnessed a variety of important shifts in the arguments,
evidences, and rhetorical strategies employed by contemporary
preachers. Because religious practice is inextricably tangled in
the culture, politics, and economy of its historical situation, the
public expression of a faith is certain to move with the times. In
their treatment of race, sex, gender, class, and citizenship,
sermons apply ancient texts to current events and controversies,
often to revealing effect. This collection, thoughtfully edited by
Eric C. Miller and Jonathan J. Edwards, demonstrates how the genre
of the Protestant sermon has evolved-or resisted evolution-across
the years. Scholars of religion, rhetoric, communication,
sociology, and cultural studies will find this book particularly
useful.
