| Summary |
The Rhetoric of American Civil Religion examines the rhetoric of the Founding Fathers, activists, presidents, and contemporary actors who play a large role in helping to define American civil religion. These rhetorical analyses demonstrate how America's civil religion is forged through the constant contestations of its beliefs, rituals, places, events, and myths by different groups and individuals |
