Biographical information pertains to those aspects of Parker's life that influenced and shaped his elocution and ideas. Parker's rhetoric and rhetorical techniques are examined. Three of Parker's important speeches are included, each with an introduction that places it in its proper context. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis study will appeal to students of rhetoric, theology, and mid-nineteenth-century American religious history.
