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.
Though much has already been written on religious freedom in the
United States, these treatments have come mostly from historians,
legal scholars, and advocates, with relatively little attention
from rhetorical critics. In The Rhetoric of Religious Freedom in
the United States, fifteen scholars from this field address the
variety of forms that free, public religiosity may assume, and
which rhetorical techniques are operative in a public square
populated by a diversity of religious-political actors. Together
they consider the arguments, evidences, and strategies defining
what religious freedom means and who is entitled to claim it in the
contemporary United States.
