This phenomenon could be due to the idea of universality that underlies these two topics or simply because of the crucial relevance they hold for the human condition.\u003cbr\u003eBiblical rhetorical criticism has been particularly active since 2009. The debate serves as a foundation for Eloquence Divine, which is grounded in a moderate and detached point of view that becomes helpful in seeing God as a 'mere' agent. In this fascinating study, God and Jesus are intended as rhetoricians who applied their own rhetoric tools in order to influence humanity's behaviour, acts and decisions.\u003cbr\u003eAs an agnostic English teacher, Philip Arrington traces paths across different episodes of the Scriptures with the aim to explore basic issues, such as identifying the difference between God's rhetoric and human persuasion, as well as the effectiveness that divine eloquence demonstrates in the narration of the Bible.","brand":"Philip Arrington","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49056350667003,"sku":"9780227176887","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_6b0ba15c-1939-42ab-bced-ebbdc2ad7908.jpg?v=1783498955","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/eloquence-divine-9780227176887","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
