For students of literature and rhetoric, Donne's sermons reveal the fundamental assumptions that he and his age held about language, especially the language of Scripture and of devotional literature. For students of religion, those sermons present the theological basis for much religious writing of the period. In "John Donne and the |Theology of Language", Stanwod and Asals have selected passages from Donne's sermons relating to his theory of language and have provided introductions and notes that set the context for Donne's words and a glossary that defines terms unfamiliar to most modern readers. The selections are grounded by subject matter so that the elements of theology and rhetoric can be studied independently. Taken together, the selections provide a framework for understanding the theological and rhetorical underpinnings of early seventeenth-century poetry and prose, a framework that is not available in any one seventeenth-century work.'
