In recent years, keen interest has arisen among scholars regarding
the connection between rhetoric and religion. This phenomenon could
be due to the idea of universality that underlies these two topics
or simply because of the crucial relevance they hold for the human
condition. Biblical rhetorical criticism has been particularly
active since 2009. The debate serves as a foundation for Eloquence
Divine, which is grounded in a moderate and detached point of view
that becomes helpful in seeing God as a 'mere' agent. In this
fascinating study, God and Jesus are intended as rhetoricians who
applied their own rhetoric tools in order to influence humanity's
behaviour, acts and decisions. As an agnostic English teacher,
Philip Arrington traces paths across different episodes of the
Scriptures with the aim to explore basic issues, such as
identifying the difference between God's rhetoric and human
persuasion, as well as the effectiveness that divine eloquence
demonstrates in the narration of the Bible.
