Secular Students' Perceptions of Christian Rhetoric: What College Students Do and Do Not Want from Conversations with Christians
Religious Education, v116 n3 p296-314 2021
A phenomenological study was conducted to understand how secular, Generation Z, college students have experienced Christian rhetoric. The study's findings revealed Christian rhetorical praxis lacked intellectual vulnerability, empathetic imagination and a willingness to engage in steeped embodied discourse. This article contends these elements are essential for winsomely engaging in Christian discourse.
