Redefining Preaching: A Beginning
Journal Title: Res Rhetorica - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Scholarly disagreement about preaching has suffered confusion due to definitions of the subject that do not sufficiently consider the diversity of that interdisciplinary field of study. This article provides a summary of historical perspectives that is more comprehensive than any such summary in recent literature. That overview leads to suggestions for investigating what preaching is and does.
