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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Jaroslav Pelikan</note> <subject> <topic>Rhetoric -- Religious aspects -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Sermon on the mount -- Criticism, interpretation, etc</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">226.9066</classification> <classification authority="ddc">J37-P38</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780881412147, 0881412147</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/12036/58.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/12036/58.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071104.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
