Full textBencheva, Mina. "Hieros Logos : la notion de discours sacré dans les religions de l'Antiquité gréco-romaine." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014STRAC033.
Full textThe “sacred discourse” (hieros logos) is a form of religious rhetoric in Graeco-Roman Antiquity. It occurs in various sources, polytheistic, Jewish, and Christian ; from the origin of Antiquity to the sixth century A.D. The concept and the expression it refers to are analyzed on the basis of a complete list of the passages where it appears. The study examines the specific features of the sacred discourse, its evolution and historic consistency as an account of a divine revelation and religious experience. The special place it occupies in Antiquity is shown through parallels with other forms of religious rhetoric. The first volume includes a study on the meaning of the expression hieros logos and its history, on the rhetorical aspects of the sacred discourse, on its religious and theological significance in the context of polytheism and monotheism, as well as two noteworthy cases of critic and rewriting in the oeuvre of Plutarch and Lucian of Samosata. The second volume contains a Collection of testimonia, with new translations, an Index to the Collection, and a list of the expressions parallel to hieros logos in Greek and Latin

Parsons, Caroline Keller. "Fighting the good fight| Ronald Reagan's moral and religious rhetoric and Soviet policy, 1981--1989." Thesis, College of Charleston, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1587109.
Full textThis thesis contributes to the historiography on President Ronald Reagan, political rhetoric, U.S.-Soviet Relations, 1980s politics, and religion in foreign policy. It examines the consistency and purpose of Reagan’s religious and moral rhetoric in an attempt to gain an understanding of Reagan’s rhetoric as it pertained to his Soviet policies. It draws largely from speeches, articles, summit meetings, interviews, personal correspondences, radio broadcasts, press conferences, political insider’s memoirs, and Reagan administration documents that laid out foreign policy strategies for dealing with the Soviet Union.
I argue that throughout his two terms as president, while there was variance over time in some aspects of his rhetoric (i.e., his characterization of the Kremlin), Ronald Reagan’s rhetoric consistently pointed to religion and morality as central aspects of the Cold War and central causes of East-West tensions. He also consistently pointed to the Soviet system as the greatest moral evil facing the world, and his Soviet policies and interactions with Soviet leaders reflected his perception that religion and morality were at the heart of the Cold War and East-West relations. This thesis intends to provide a better understanding of the worldview Reagan presented in his public rhetoric and of the ways his foreign policy actions were, overall, consistent with that worldview. This study defines Reagan’s public rhetoric as a tool of persuasion that sought to reshape public and private perceptions of the East-West relationship, the Cold War, and America’s role in it.

Full textThe media’s ability to frame a news story, or to slant it in a particular direction and thereby shape public perceptions, is a powerful tool with implications for material effects in society. In this thesis, a Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis of the words and photographic images used in the framing of Life magazine’s September 14, 1953 article, “The Lonely Men of Short Creek,” is combined with contextualization of the story within the historical, sociological, and regional settings that may have affected its ideological content. This provides insights into Life’s editorial perspectives and potential audience response. “The Lonely Men of Short Creek” is an account that some writers have suggested contributed to a laissez-faire attitude towards the polygamist community of Short Creek, Arizona, in which a failure to enforce state laws allowed child sexual abuse to continue unhindered there for the next half century. This analysis of Life’s account demonstrates its overall sympathetic framing of Short Creek in 1953, particularly of male community members, and the construction of a narrative with significant absences and misrepresentations that obscured or concealed darker themes. Life’s construct has in certain aspects been replicated today in what some consider to be the “definitive” account of the story, which repeats a persistent tale of religious persecution, compromised constitutional rights, and an overbearing state’s “kidnap” of the children of an apparently innocent and harmless rural polygamist community. Such a narrative has deflected attention from an alternative frame—that of a community charged with multiple crimes, including the statutory rape of children manipulated by adults within a religious ideology that demanded plural “wives.” This thesis contends that in 1953, these children were overlooked, or ignored in a fog of often taken-for-granted US national ideologies and editorial perspectives relating to religious freedom and the “sacred” nature of the family in the post-Korean War and Cold War era. Such findings raise questions about the ethics of partisan framing of news stories in which alleged victims are implicated, acceptable limits of religious and family rights, and the often un-interrogated national ideologies sometimes used to justify harmful or criminal behaviors.

Bachelor of Arts, Concordia College, Ann Arbor, MI, Spring 1978; Master of Divinity, Concordia Seminary, Spring 1982; Master of Science, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Spring 2007; Doctor of Philosophy, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Summer 2017 Major: English Title of Dissertation: Religious Rhetoric and the Radio: The Sermons of Rev. Dr. Oswald C.J. Hoffmann, International Lutheran Hour Speaker, 1955 - 1985 Dissertation Director: Dr. Keith Dorwick Pages in Dissertation: 199; Words in Abstract: 281 ABSTRACT Rev. Dr. Oswald C.J. Hoffmann served as the speaker of The Lutheran Hour, an internationally broadcast religious radio program, from 1955 until 1988 and as Speaker-Emeritus from 1988 until his death in 2005. As a Lutheran pastor, Hoffmann brought with him almost twenty years of ministry experience as a parish pastor, a college professor, and the first public relations director of the Lutheran Church?Missouri Synod (LCMS), as well as the skills of a gifted preacher. Throughout the three decades that Hoffmann served in this position, he was much more than a voice on the radio and his notoriety extended well beyond the structure of his own denomination; he was well known both nationally and internationally, meeting with and interviewing political leaders, business leaders, celebrities, and dignitaries worldwide. Although Hoffmann was a major religious figure and a popular preacher of the second half of the twentieth century, little scholarship has been conducted on his preaching. The question this dissertation will address is, how is Hoffmann?s preaching distinct amidst the many voices proclaiming the faith? There are two ways in which this question can be addressed: the first is theologically and the second is rhetorically. Theologically, this dissertation will argue that it was Hoffmann?s style of preaching as pastoral care, or Seelsorge (the term used by Luther), that made him an effective radio preacher and furthermore, his preaching exemplified and contributed to the overall tradition of Lutheran homiletics. Rhetorically, however, this dissertation will investigate how Hoffmann keeps his radio audience?s attention against the sonic field in which he preaches. In order to address this question, I will analyze Hoffmann?s sermons using the five canons of rhetoric: Invention, Arrangement, Style, Memory, and Delivery.
