3 | Discovering a Rhetoric of Love - ft. Michael Eatmon Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

Rhetoric is the art and science of persuasive communication. Over the years, some have used its tools to abuse, exploit, and manipulate their audiences. Others have used their rhetorical skills to belittle their opponents and lampoon their views. Christians sometimes imitate these approaches, but should they? Isn’t there a better way to speak truth?
Join Marlin & Laurie Detweiler as they discuss rhetoric with Michael Eatmon. Michael is the Director of Curriculum Development at Veritas Press. This episode was intended to be the third in a series of discussions with Michael. We have released it early as a follow-up to the discussion with Doug Wilson in Veritas Vox episodes 1 & 2.
