The Sixth Canon of Sacred Rhetoric: Inspiration in Nineteenth-Century Homiletic Theory.
Hirst, Russel
Rhetoric Society Quarterly, v25 p69-90 1995
Examines the subject of divine inspiration as it appears in the inventional theories of three prominent 19th-century homileticians: Austin Phelps, William Shedd, and George Hervey. Considers some of the general features of the age-old opposition between extemporaneous, "spirit-filled" preaching and premeditated, scripted preaching. (TB)
