ABSTRACT

This chapter pulls together the various threads that run through the book. After referring briefly to the insights into the interrelation between rhetoric and religion in Attic oratory and politics that this book provides, and after underscoring the value of the book’s approach to the use of religious discourse in public (legal or political) speaking, it offers suggestions about religious discourse in other kinds of rhetoric, or in rhetoric of other eras and cultures (e.g. Hellenistic cities, Rome, Byzantium and beyond) that might be further explored in future research endeavours.
