The 19th century may have been the age of 'our talking America', as Emerson put it, but it was also a time of extraordinary attunement to the unspoken, the elusively present, and the subtly haunting. 'Quiet Testimony' finds in such attunement a valuable rethinking of what it means to encounter the truth. It argues that four key writers - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Frederick Douglass, Herman Melville and Henry James - work to open up the domain of the witness and the obliging text by articulating quietude's claim on the clamouring world.

Keeping a preacher quiet is like stealing a painter's brushes. Although his tools may be gone, he still finds a way to release the passion within. Satan tried to steal Pastor Eric Zeidler's tongue, with the purpose of stopping God's voice from being heard through his mouth. But through Jesus Christ, Pastor Eric found a way. And that way was being healed by the very Lord he preaches to others about. His journey takes him from the trial of tongue cancer and the related surgeries to the emotional challenges he faced going through. Now while pastoring a church in his childhood town, he engages the airwaves through his own television and radio network-CTF-TV. His message is strong and challenging as he encourages others in a walk of faith, Christian unity, and dedication to God. His voice is not confined to the converted municipal library, where patrons were once reminded to be quiet as they learned, but he leads his congregation to put their arms to their mouth and take the message to the community and the world.
