Abstract
This thesis is a study of rhetorical methods used by Walter A. Maier, the founder of "The Lutheran Hour" radio ministry and its preacher from 1930 until his death in 1950. The focus is a study of his use of emotional proof to support his logic in the context of the Lutheran categories of law and gospel. The thesis argues that Maier's use of emotion was a powerful rhetorical technique but subordinate to his logic as influenced by the categories of law and gospel.
