The book's exceptionally argued chapters and compelling interludes masterfully engage Indigenous, Jewish, Arab-Islamic, and Buddhist perspectives and think intersectionally about religion's connection to race, culture, gender, and sexuality. This collection is a must read for teachers and students of rhetoric who must see critical engagements with religion as key concerns for pluralism.”—Jessica Enoch, author of \u003ci\u003eDomestic Occupations: Spatial Rhetorics and Women’s Work\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “This excellent collection is an inclusive, pluralistic example of the next stage in rhetoric’s contribution to the religious turn in the human sciences.

Deliberately building on previous work about rhetoric and religion and by challenging monolithic perspectives, the volume's essays and unique commentary interludes will encourage, if not demand, other useful scholarship to benefit the field of rhetoric and composition.”—Deborah H.

This compelling collection dismisses acts of token tolerance and instead embraces rhetorical contemplation, interanimation, and resonance in the search for religious plurality. Readers come away both critical of shortsighted academic condescension aimed at religion and equipped to incorporate religious rhetoric into classroom discussions—a remarkable achievement.”—LynÉe Lewis Gaillet, coeditor of \u003ci\u003eRemembering Women Differently: Refiguring Rhetorical Work\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “The coeditors of \u003ci\u003eRhetoric and Religion in the Twenty-First Century: Pluralism in a Postsecular Age\u003c\/i\u003e offer a kaleidoscope of insight into the persuasive and rhetorical impact of differing religious traditions, announcing for the reader the good, the bad, and the problematic inherent within the rhetorical power of religious influence.

One of few volumes to include multiple traditions in one conversation, \u003ci\u003eRhetoric and Religion in the Twenty-First Century\u003c\/i\u003e engages with religious discourses and issues that continue to shape public life in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This collection of essays centralizes the study of religious persuasion and pluralism, considers religion’s place in U.S. society, and expands the study of rhetoric and religion in generative ways. The volume showcases a wide range of religious traditions and challenges the very concepts of rhetoric and religion. The book’s eight essays explore African American, Buddhist, Christian, Indigenous, Islamic, and Jewish rhetoric and discuss the intersection of religion with feminism, race, and queer rhetoric—along with offering reflections on how to approach religious traditions through research and teaching. In addition, the volume includes seven short interludes in which some of the field’s most accomplished scholars recount their experiences engaging with religious rhetorics and invite readers to engage these exigent lines of inquiry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By featuring these diverse religious perspectives, \u003ci\u003eRhetoric and Religion in the Twenty-First Century\u003c\/i\u003e complicates the field’s emphasis on Western, Hellenistic, and Christian ideologies. The collection also offers teachers of writing and rhetoric a range of valuable approaches for preparing today’s students for public citizenship in our religiously diverse global context.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword: Martin Camper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: Michael-John DePalma, Paul Lynch, and Jeff Ringer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection 1: Interrogating Rhetorics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.“\u003cbr\u003eTo Do Things in a Good (Decolonial) Way: Putting Indigenous Rhetorics and Rhetorics of Religion in Conversation,”\u003cbr\u003e by Lisa King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterlude: Patricia Bizzell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.“\u003cbr\u003eFeminist Rhetorical Historiography and Religion,”\u003cbr\u003e by Lisa Zimmerelli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterlude: Beth Daniell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.“\u003cbr\u003e‘\u003cbr\u003eJoy Anyway!’\u003cbr\u003e Narratives of Harm and Flourishing at the Intersections of Religious and LGBTQ+ Rhetorics,”\u003cbr\u003e by TJ Geiger, III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterlude: Beverly Moss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.“\u003cbr\u003eWe Are Not Born for Ourselves Alone: Jesuit Rhetoric for the Twenty-First Century,”\u003cbr\u003e by John Brereton and Cinthia Gannett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterlude: Laurent Pernot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection 2: Inventing Rhetorics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.“\u003cbr\u003eCreating Pathways for Ethical (Inter)Actions: New Directions for Jewish Rhetorics,”\u003cbr\u003e by Janice W.
