Online resources: Summary: Of the many themes that Classical Antiquity and Early Christianity had in common, for all their profound differences, none was more influential than their love of language... What would happen when these two systems of interpreting persuasive language collided and yet in some sense converged? To answer that question, this book examines three interpretations of the most universally acknowledged piece of rhetoric in the history of the West, the Sermon on the Mount: from the Latin and Catholic tradition (St Augustine), the Greek and Orthodox tradition (St John Chrysostom), and the Reformation and Protestant tradition (Martin Luther). Each is acknowledged in his tradition as a ""prince of the pulpit."" Together and yet separately, they illuminate both the Sermon and the Speaker for anyone who still takes the challenge of the faith -- and of language -- seriously.
