Superchurch - The Rhetoric and Politics of American Fundamentalism

Informationen zum Autor Jonathan J. Edwards is Instructor of Speech Communication and Rhetoric at the University of South Carolina. Klappentext Christian Fundamentalism is a doctrine and a discourse in tension. Drawing on five case studies, Superchurch blends a complex yet readable treatment of rhetorical and political theory with a sophisticated approach to Fundamentalism that neither dismisses its appeal nor glosses over its irresolvable conflicts. Edwards challenges theories of rhetoric, counterpublics, deliberation, and civility and offers new insights into the evolution and continuing influence of one of the century's most significant cultural and political movements. Zusammenfassung We have to take seriously the ways in which Fundamentalists describe themselves to themselves, and to do that, we must begin by exploring the central role of “the church” in Fundamentalist rhetoric and politics.
