A Rhetoric of Love Student Text

A Rhetoric of Love reimagines rhetoric from a Christian perspective and casts a new vision of a Christian Rhetoric of Love versus a Rhetoric of Dominion.

Unloving rhetoric often does the opposite of convincing – it rather can alienate or create hostility.

A Rhetoric of Love aims to teach a more excellent way stemming from Jesus' teachings, rather than just the Greek or Roman perspective. It looks at how Christians should try to persuade others, how we can really listen to others, and we can speak truth in love. This course focuses on honing an orator's reasoning skills, unique style, and creative voice.

Chapters conclude with comprehension exercises, discussion exercises, and presentation exercises. Sidebars with information from Cicero, Aristotle, and other classical authors are also integrated throughout.
