Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. A fascinating study into the evolution of sacred oratory, this book by an esteemed scholar draws connections between the first recorded orations in antiquity to the present day. It traces the origins of homiletics in biblical teachings and explores the influence of ancient Greek oratory, before delving into the specific differences between secular and sacred speech. Within sacred oratory, the author sets out three main branches - the demonstrative, the deliberative and the judicial - and discusses the methods and rhetorical devices most appropriate to each. The book is replete with examples taken from the canonical scriptures and the works of famous preachers throughout the ages, and explores how the style and substance of sermons has been influenced by cultural changes such as the Reformation and Enlightenment. As such, this book is scholarly but highly accessible, being of interest to students of theology and history, as well as general readers with an interest in the evolution of language and rhetoric in religious practice.
