The Christian faith depends to a great degree on persuasion. In one
of his letters to early Christians, the apostle Paul wrote, "Let
your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may
know how you ought to answer everyone" (Col. 4:6). Yet rhetoric-the
art of persuasion-has been largely ignored by most Christians. In
this book, James Beitler seeks to renew interest in and hunger for
an effective Christian rhetoric by closely considering the work of
five beloved Christian communicators: C. S. Lewis, Dorothy L.
Sayers, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Desmond Tutu, and Marilynne Robinson.
Moreover, he situates these reflections within the Christian
liturgical seasons for the essential truths they convey. These
writers collectively demonstrate that being a master of rhetoric is
not antithetical to authentic Christian witness. Indeed, being a
faithful disciple of Christ means practicing a rhetoric that
beneficially and persuasively imparts the surprising truth of the
gospel. It means having seasoned speech.
