This book offers new insight into the ways rhetorical educators'
religious motives influenced the shape of nineteenth-century
rhetorical education and invites scholars of writing and rhetoric
to consider what the study of religiously-animated pedagogies might
reveal about rhetorical education itself. The author studies the
rhetorical pedagogy of Austin Phelps, the prominent preacher and
professor of sacred rhetoric at Andover Theological Seminary, and
his theologically-motivated adaptation of rhetorical education to
fit the exigencies of preachers at the first graduate seminary in
the United States. In disclosing how Phelps was guided by his
Christian motives, the book offers a thorough examination of how
professional rhetoric was taught, learned, and practiced in
nineteenth-century America. It also provides an enriched
understanding of rhetorical theories and pedagogies in American
seminaries, and contributes deepened awareness of the ways
religious motives can function as resources that enable the
reshaping of rhetorical theory and pedagogy in generative ways.
Exploring the implications of Phelps's rhetorical theory and
pedagogy for future studies of religious rhetoric, histories of
rhetorical education, and twenty-first century writing
pedagogy,this book will be essential reading for scholars and
students of rhetoric, education, American history, religious
education, and writing studies.
