Förlagets beskrivning
This work offers a bold reading of Protestant tradition from a rhetorical
and literary perspective. Arguing that Protestant thought is based in a
rhetorical performance of authority, Hobson draws on a wide range of modern and
postmodern thought to defend this account of rhetorical authority from various
charges of authoritarianism. With close readings of Augustine, Luther, Kierkegaard and Barth, this book
develops a "rhetorical theology of the Word" and also a new critique of secular
modernity, with particular reference to modern literature and the thought of
Nietzsche. Confronting the related issues of rhetoric and authority, Hobson
provides a provocative account of modern theology which offers new perspectives
on theology's relationship to literature and postmodern thought. Hobson traces the role of authoritative rhetoric in Christian thought,
particularly Protestantism. Rhetorical authority stands under the severest
modern suspicion, yet the Protestant tradition challenges human claims to
authority, clearing space for the possibility of an utterance wholly other.
