<i>The Rhetoric of St. Augustine of Hippo</i> is the definitive edition of St. Augustine's fourth book of <i>De Doctrina Christiana</i>, the book that deals with rhetoric and its uses in Christian discourse. The edition of <i>DDC</i> contains both the original Latin and Sister Tèrèse Sullivan's brilliant translation. An introduction discusses the historical importance of <i>DDC</i>. Seven seminal essays written during the last seventy-five years provide representative discussions of the important topics of <i>DDC</i>. The volume includes a detailed, synoptic outline of all four books, with a conclusion by Amy K. Hermanson that synthesizes Augustine's rhetorical theory in a religious context. This is the only edition of its kind. It will remain the standard for a long time to come.
