The Rhetoric of Lewis and Sayers w/ Dr. Jim Beitler

Wade Center - A podcast by Wade Center at Wheaton College (IL)

‘Rhetoric’ is often a byword for hollow or negative speech. In truth, rhetoric is the art of persuasion.

Lewis and Dorothy L. Sayers. What can we learn from their example, and how can properly “seasoned speech” assist us in persuasively communicating the truth of the gospel?
