Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an epitome of Cicero and Quintilian, providing a comprehensive guide to the art of oratory. The author explores its fourfold cause in detail, examining the efficient cause that tutors and makes the preacher, the final cause that comprises the motives of action, the formal cause that reveals the preacher's character, and the material cause that forms the basis of sound doctrine. The book discusses various classes of oratory, including the deliberative, demonstrative, homiletic, composite, and scholastic methods. It analyzes the structure of a discourse, covering the matter, end, and proposition, and provides guidance on the effective use of the text and plan. The author presents a wealth of techniques for inventing and disposing arguments, including intrinsic and extrinsic sources, denial, distinction, and retort. The book delves into the art of refutation, offering strategies for countering false doctrine and addressing objections. Throughout, the author emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations and the preacher's role as a messenger of truth and a model of virtue. The insights offered in this book provide a valuable resource for preachers seeking to hone their craft and deliver powerful and persuasive sermons.
