The deeper we get into classical education the more we realize the culminating importance of mastering rhetoric. And, unfortunately, in the revival of classical Christian education we still await the perfect rhetoric text. However, this text is very, very good-the best we've seen. It successfully blends the classical strategies of ancient Greek and Roman rhetoricians and adapts them to the needs of contemporary writers and speakers. A free downloadable teacher's edition is available with a purchase. Call for details.
