The book's exceptionally argued chapters and compelling interludes masterfully engage Indigenous, Jewish, Arab-Islamic, and Buddhist perspectives and think intersectionally about religion's connection to race, culture, gender, and sexuality. This collection is a must read for teachers and students of rhetoric who must see critical engagements with religion as key concerns for pluralism.”—Jessica Enoch, author of \u003ci\u003eDomestic Occupations: Spatial Rhetorics and Women’s Work\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “This excellent collection is an inclusive, pluralistic example of the next stage in rhetoric’s contribution to the religious turn in the human sciences. The essays provide valuable general accounts of current approaches to reconceiving the interdisciplinary study of traditional religious rhetorics. Also included are chapter interludes with engaging narratives of how authors entered the field.”—Steven Mailloux, author of \u003ci\u003eRhetoric's Pragmatism: Essays in Rhetorical Hermeneutics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “With \u003ci\u003eRhetoric and Religion in the Twenty-First Century: Pluralism in a Postsecular Age\u003c\/i\u003e, DePalma, Lynch, Ringer, and their contributors continue a set of important conversations—not only about the role of religion in rhetoric, but also about the hybridity of rhetorical tradition(s) writ large. Deliberately building on previous work about rhetoric and religion and by challenging monolithic perspectives, the volume's essays and unique commentary interludes will encourage, if not demand, other useful scholarship to benefit the field of rhetoric and composition.”—Deborah H. Holdstein, author of \u003ci\u003eLost Texts in Rhetoric and Composition \u003c\/i\u003eand coauthor of\u003ci\u003e Judaic Perspectives in Rhetoric and Composition\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “At this contentious cultural moment, when religious identity is used to draw political boundaries and encourage factionalism, the diverse and illuminating contributions to this volume complicate flattened conceptions of religion in the US and call for renewed appreciation of scholarship rooted in faith. This compelling collection dismisses acts of token tolerance and instead embraces rhetorical contemplation, interanimation, and resonance in the search for religious plurality. Readers come away both critical of shortsighted academic condescension aimed at religion and equipped to incorporate religious rhetoric into classroom discussions—a remarkable achievement.”—LynÉe Lewis Gaillet, coeditor of \u003ci\u003eRemembering Women Differently: Refiguring Rhetorical Work\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “The coeditors of \u003ci\u003eRhetoric and Religion in the Twenty-First Century: Pluralism in a Postsecular Age\u003c\/i\u003e offer a kaleidoscope of insight into the persuasive and rhetorical impact of differing religious traditions, announcing for the reader the good, the bad, and the problematic inherent within the rhetorical power of religious influence.
