About the Book:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rhetoric of Religious Freedom in the United States<\/a>, fifteen scholars from this field address the variety of forms that free, public religiosity may assume, and which rhetorical techniques are operative in a public square populated by a diversity of religious-political actors. Together they consider the arguments, evidences, and strategies defining what religious freedom means and who is entitled to claim it in the contemporary United States.<\/p>\n

Praise for the Book:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miller has collected a number of diverse and useful rhetorical studies to demonstrate the importance of religious freedom in the contemporary public imaginary and its representative discourse. It is a welcome addition to and unique representation of rhetorical scholarship.\u00a0(Steven Goldzwig<\/a>, Marquette University)<\/p>\n

Freedom of religion remains a contentious issue in American public culture. Across 12 timely chapters,\u00a0The Rhetoric of Religious Freedom in the United States\u00a0illustrates the myriad of ways in which the concept of religious freedom becomes negotiated in political, legal, and social spheres. By addressing the issue through a rhetorical framework, this collection contributes an important perspective to ongoing controversies and speaks to the complex negotiation of American values.\u00a0(Leslie J. Harris<\/a>, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)<\/p>\n
