Jeffrey K. Tulis

Princeton University Press, 1988

Excellent -- an absolute must-have.
Tulis has written a brilliant account of the changing styles of presidential rhetoric. His essential argument is that the Framers intended the President to use rhetoric only to speak directly to Congress, rarely if ever to the masses, and always to put his ideas in a constitutional framework. But post-Woodrow Wilson, presidents speak directly to the public, even when ostensibly speaking to ...

Longman, 2006

Exactly As Expected
Rhetorical Grammar, by Martha Kolln, is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to improve their English grammar. Each chapter brings valuable information to the reader, with exercises placed throughout, and answers to the odd numbered questions in the back. This handbook is easy to understand and has ideas that are easy to grasp. I'd definitely recommend it for teachers and students alike!

Rhetoric in Popular Culture

Barry S. Brummett

Sage Publications, Inc, 2006

Empowering students to use rhetoric to study popular culture
Barry Brummett's "Rhetoric in Popular Culture" seeks to bring the traditions of rhetorical criticism and critical studies together. Brummett applies the growing and cutting-edge methods of critical studies to the study of rhetoric, because he sees critical studies AS rhetorical criticism. This is a premise with which I whole-heartedly agree, which is not surprising given my interest in rhetoric ...

Rhetorical Criticism: Exploration and Practice

Waveland Press, 2004

A Best Textbook for a Course on Rhetorical Criticism
I have used Sonja Foss' RHETORICAL CRITICISM: EXPLORATION & PRACTICES as a textbook for my Rhetorical Criticism class in the past three consecutive years. Among many other choices of textbooks, I find this one to have more strength and most suited for my students and my teaching style. First, the layout of the book is very easy for students to approach. It proceeds from traditional to current ...

The Rhetorical Tradition: Readings from Classical Times to the Present

5 reviews
Patricia Bizzell, Bruce Herzberg

Bedford/St. Martin's, 2000

Rhetorical theory
This book was tremendously helpful in establishing the history and current thought about rhetoric. The only complaint was that the feminist rhetoric section was grossly underrepresented. Excellent for ancient as well as modern studies.

A Handlist of Rhetorical Terms

6 reviews
Richard A. Lanham

University of California Press, 1991

Enquire Within Upon Everything
It's hard to describe how valuable this book is. Simply put, it changed my life. The title is both perfect and a little misleading: yes, it's a handlist, but that gives little sense of the breadth and scholarship of Lanham's work. Yes, you'll find incredibly useful definitions of the most recondite, as well as the most everyday, tropes and schemes. But embedded within his exposition Lanham ...

Making Sense of Messages: A Critical Apprenticeship in Rhetorical Criticism

1 review
Mark R Stoner, Sally J Perkins

Allyn & Bacon, 2004

Buyer Beware
Apparently, the publisher is none too willing to do a full reprint or custom publication of this text. I paid full list price for it after not being able to obtain a desk copy. What I received was certainly not worth list price, nor is it a hard cover. I received a paperback version of the book, and the pages are, at best, photocopy-quality ... and shoddy at that. The book itself is useful, ...

The Acts of the Apostles : A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary

Ben Witherington III

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1997

Excellent Reading and Background Source. Buy It.
`The Acts of the Apostles, A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary' by the distinguished and prolific professor, Ben Witherington III may be one of the most readable Bible commentaries I have found. For that and several other reasons, it may be the very best commentary for any reader who approaches the Christian scriptures as literature rather than as Gospel. The author's subtitle emphasizes the fact that ...

Conflict and Community in Corinth: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary on 1 and 2 Corinthians

3 reviews
Ben Witherington III

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1995

Commentary about People, for People
Ben Witherington's work exemplifies the goals of good socio-rhetorical commentary--describing people, where they live, how they talk, what they do. The tools he uses help us fill in the gaps that scripture leaves out and give us a fuller picture of the New Testament world, especially Corinth and Paul's church there. Because I am a pastor whose job is a people job, his work makes my job easier ...

Utterly modern!
It's a hip and modern book. It's great for undergraduate and graduate students unfamiliar with rhetoric criticism. Rhetoric criticism made easy written in a simple, straightforward, and occasionally humorous style. This is the only book I actually anticipate reading for my rhetoric class. This book gives its readers working vocabulary with which they use to analyze rhetoric of a text. As well, ...

Paul's Letter to the Romans: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary

6 reviews
Ben Witherington III, Darlene Hyatt

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2004

Don't Panic!
On the front of this book in large, friendly letters, should be the words, `Don't Panic.' Anytime someone sees scholarly words like `socio' and `rhetorical,' especially when they are combined with a hyphen, I've found that they will normally go into a catatonic state that can only be broken by a beer or two. All kidding aside, this is a great book about Romans. I appreciate Ben Witherington's ...

David Arthur Desilva

InterVarsity Press, 2000

Wonderful
This book is helpful to the aspiring biblical scholar and to the Christian layman. It situates the Bible firmly in its 1st Century mediterranean culture, first by exploring the contemporary texts, then examining the scriptures. At the end of the chapters dealing with scripture, he briefly writes on the practical applications of this knowledge, which is particularly useful. Some feel that he ...

American Rhetorical Discourse, Third Edition

Waveland Press, 2004

I had it as a text book but now read it for fun!
I had this book as a text book in an upper division (university)communications class--it isnt light reading but it IS facinating and I have held on to it and refered to it many times. The selection of speeches is just right--a great combination of what you expect (Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Liberty or Death, The Pastoral Letter, Gettysburg, The Solitude of Self, Cross of Gold, Wilson's ...
