Ancient Rhetorics for Contemporary Students

The deeper we get into classical education the more we realize the culminating importance of mastering rhetoric. And, unfortunately, in the revival of classical Christian education we still await the perfect rhetoric text. However, this text is very, very good—the best we've seen. Ancient Rhetorics for Contemporary Students successfully blends the classical strategies of ancient Greek and Roman rhetoricians and adapts them to the needs of contemporary writers and speakers.

This 5th edition includes exercises and rhetorical activities created to specifically help students see the application of classical rhetoric to the current culture. The book also discusses electronic communication and how these principles and strategies relate to this relatively newer form of communication.
