Combining a rhetorical approach to the study of memes with profound philosophical concepts about information as a fundamental building block of existence, Information Rhetorics presents a framework for understanding the world through the lens of information transfer.Drawing from rhetorical theory, semiotics, philosophy of information, and communications studies, the author explores how information - defined not as static facts but as transmitted significance and value - flows through both animate and inanimate realms. He examines how specialized terminologies function across disciplines while connecting to vernacular understandings of information transfer. By positioning memes as a heuristic tool, the author creates an interdisciplinary framework that illuminates economics, spirituality, and social theory.This book will interest scholars, students, and researchers across disciplines, particularly those working in philosophy of information, rhetoric, semiotics, cultural studies, and communication studies.

How exactly does one explain Jesus? That is the central question of this book. But the taskof explaining Jesus is complicated. For many nonbelievers, skeptics, or practitioners of non-Jesus-based religions or spiritualities, it can be very strange to refer to a particular man wholived in the first century CE as someone who is still living. Even for some believers, this ideacan be a difficult thing to understand—even given the teachings of their faith. Thus, whetherbeliever or nonbeliever or somewhere in-between, for the intellectually curious, there is needfor an explanation. Explaining Jesus explores the possibilities of a secular, interdisciplinary, science-based explanation for the phenomenon of Jesus.
