LCU holds 4th Annual C.S. Lewis Honors Forum
By Elizabeth Clarke, LCU News PINEVILLE, La. (LCU News) - Four Louisiana Christian University honors students presented research at the 4th annual C.S. Lewis Honors Forum, April 12. LAURA AIME Laura Aime, a senior history major with an English minor, from Baton Rouge, presented “Religious Rhetoric of the American Revolution: Jeremiads, Ad Hominem Attacks, and the Holy War Ideology.” Aime’s research discovered that Patriot preachers discussed liberty, resistance to tyranny, the morality of current events, and patriotism. From the 1760s onward and during the conflict itself, the rhetoric of sermons became much more aggressive and intense. The rhetoric employed by New England clergy during the American Revolution – the jeremiad sermonic rhetorical structure, holy war rhetoric, and ad hominem attacks – resulted in powerful sermons that both persuaded the public to support the revolution and molded the ideology of the revolution by reshaping the concept of resistance and emphasizing liberty’s importance. She is a member of the Alpha Mu Tau chapter of the Phi Alpha Theta National History Honor Society and the LCU Student Government Association. She has served as the president of SGA this academic year. Aime plans to … [Read more...]
