Description: ...sure to become the standard edition of one of the most influential works in the history of rhetoric. "-Tom P. Miller"
Publisher Description: "The Rhetoric of St. Augustine of Hippo" is the definitive edition of St. Augustine's fourth book of "De Doctrina Christiana," the book that deals with rhetoric and its uses in Christian discourse. The edition of "DDC" contains both the original Latin and Sister TA]rA]se Sullivan's brilliant translation. An introduction discusses the historical importance of "DDC," Seven seminal essays written during the last seventy-five years provide representative discussions of the important topics of "DDC," The volume includes a detailed, synoptic outline of all four books, with a conclusion by Amy K. Hermanson that synthesizes Augustine's rhetorical theory in a religious context. This is the only edition of its kind. It will remain the standard for a long time to come.
Biographical Note: Richard Leo Enos (Ph.D. Indiana University) is Professor and Holder of the Lillian Radford Chair of Rhetoric in the Department of English at Texas Christian University.
