This book is a unique examination of the phenomenon of the call.
Characterizing the call as a rhetorical event, the book identifies
how speakers can use eloquence in the service of truth. Authors
Craig R. Smith and Michael J. Hyde offer the rare combination of a
phenomenology of the call linked closely to eloquence and explore
this linkage by examining the components of eloquence, including
examples of its misuse by George W. Bush and Donald Trump. The bulk
of the text examines case studies of eloquence in the service of
truth including epideictic, forensic, and deliberative eloquence,
with examples drawn from addresses by Barack Obama, Daniel Webster,
Ronald Reagan, Margaret Chase Smith, Susan Collins, and Mitt
Romney. The authors also examine the Epistles of St. Paul, the
writings of St. Augustine, and the preaching of Jonathan Edwards.
Finally, the book explores eloquence in filmic narratives and
dialogic communication between artists and writers, concluding with
a study of the sublime and how it is evoked with awe using the work
of Annie Dillard.
