Abstract

In the present chapter we will examine Calvin's pulpit oratory in the context of the humanist revival of classical rhetoric that was still in full swing when Calvin began his career as a theologian, biblical commentator, and preacher. We will also pose a challenge to the conventional scholarly wisdom regarding the reformer's use of rhetoric in his sermons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
