Possession and Persuasion: The Rhetoric of Christian Faith |
Robert Hach |
"To say that biblical faith is a matter of rhetoric is
not to reduce it to the level of politics or advertising, to which the
term 'rhetoric' is, in popular usage, typically applied. It is,
rather, to affirm that all matters which require belief are matters of
rhetoric--the persuasive use of language--and that biblical faith,
unlike virtually all other forms of religious faith, plainly
acknowledges this fact." |
