Nicolae Steinhardt pleas for an updated, synchronized sermon, so his essays are extremely vivid and charming. The persuasive strategies of Steinhardt’s sermon make his essay unique among others of the same kind. The appeal to intertextuality (with arguments of authority taken from literature and art in general), the pronounced dramatization of some texts, metaphor, portrait, paradox, scandal, antithesis, freedom - become just as many ways to attract and convince the audience.
