Guest Speaker: Shante Buckley

Shante Buckley was our guest speaker this weekend. Listen here. This is a wonderful sermon.

For Preachers, Speakers, and Students of Rhetoric

Ethos: The speaker's credibility and percieved caring. An appeal based on ethics.

Logos: The speaker's use of logic to support a claim - both induction and deduction. Facts and statistics can be used in addition to logic.

Pathos: The speaker's emotional or motivational appeals including vivid language, emotional language, and numerous sensory details.

This was an excellent sermon.

The ethos was excellent. Notice how she projects caring to the listener.

The logos was very good. Her use of metaphor is outstanding.

The pathos was as good as you will find. I don't know many other speakers that have a pathos as high as Shante.
