The tie that binds all Americans, regardless of their demographic
background, is faith in the American system of government. This
faith manifests as a form of civil, or secular, religion with its
own core documents, creeds, oaths, ceremonies, and even
individuals. In The Rhetoric of American Civil Religion: Symbols,
Sinners, and Saints, contributors seek to examine some of those
core elements of American faith by exploring the proverbial saints,
sinners and dominant symbols of the American system.
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.
