The Rhetoric of Religious Freedom in the United States
Lexington Books (Verlag)
978-1-4985-6148-8 (ISBN)
Though much has already been written on religious freedom in the United States, these treatments have come mostly from historians, legal scholars, and advocates, with relatively little attention from rhetorical critics. In The Rhetoric of Religious Freedom in the United States, fifteen scholars from this field address the variety of forms that free, public religiosity may assume, and which rhetorical techniques are operative in a public square populated by a diversity of religious-political actors. Together they consider the arguments, evidences, and strategies defining what religious freedom means and who is entitled to claim it in the contemporary United States.
Eric C. Miller is assistant professor of communication studies at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania.
