What would you do if Christianity and Judaism were to become illegal? What if your government mandated that large church buildings become government buildings and museums, while small churches were bulldozed? What if all known men and women of God were designated enemies of the state and either imprisoned in solitary confinement or summarily executed? What if the government started a new state religion, which was clearly a substitute for the worship of Yahweh God?

What if you seemed to be the only one who recognized the situation, the only person who still recognized and prayed to God? Would you keep a low profile for your own safety? Would you pray for God's honor?

This is exactly the situation in which Elijah found himself in ancient Israel. Not only was he apparently the only man of God left in the land, he was seemingly a nobody. He was an ordinary man living in a rural area.

Join us as we examine Elijah's life in the crucible of ancient Israel, where he jumped from obscurity to the most wanted, where the entire government mobilized itself to find him, in order to put him to death. Join us as we follow his death-defying steps to one of the greatest miracles of God in all history. Would you like to be an Elijah?

Water, Rhetoric, and Social Justice: A Critical Confluence examines how individuals and communities have responded on a global scale to present day water crises as matters of social justice, through oratory, mass demonstration, deliberation, testimony, and other rhetorical appeals. This book applies critical communication methods and perspectives to interrogate the pressing yet mind-boggling dilemma currently faced in environmental studies and policy: that clean water, the very stuff of life, which flows freely from the tap in affluent areas, is also denied to huge populations, materially and fluidly exemplifying the currents of justice, liberty, and equity. Contributors highlight discourse and water justice movements in nonofficial spheres from activists, artists, and the grassroots. In extending the technical, economic, moral, and political conversations on water justice, this collection applies special focus on the novel rhetorical concepts and responses not necessarily unique to but especially enacted in water justice situations. Scholars of rhetoric, sociology, activism, communication, and environmental studies will find this book particularly useful.
