Thoughts Clothed in Words: Classical Rhetoric from a Biblical Worldview (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781720521990)

Rhetoric is best defined as the art and science of persuasion, but it is much morethan that. It's about communicating well and expressing yourself to the best ofyour ability. In Thoughts Clothed in Words, we study Aristotle's Five Canons of Rhetoric, in additionto dissecting and examining great (and not-so-great) speeches and essays, bothhistorical and contemporary. We hope to discover how the writer persuades, utilizes a thesis, and implements figures of speech and style.This course emphasizes academic writing, use of a thesis, proofs, and the senior capstone thesis project. It also covers delivery of speeches from enunciation through debate to defense of the senior thesis project. In this textbook you will find all you need for the culmination of a classical high school education.Thoughts Clothed in Words overhauls the textbooks formerly known as BiblicalWorldview Rhetoric I & II. This one- or two-year course, though it looks new, has been used forseveral years by online schools, home school programs, and Classical Christianschools both in the United States and internationally
