Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Growth of Lincoln's Faith
OR the last twenty-five years my principal avocation has been the accumulation of a Lincoln library and a study of all phases of the life of the martyred President. I have been especially interested in the books, pamphlets, and magazine articles on Lincoln's religion. Much has been written Of a controversial nature. In the light of his career and of his assured place in history, it now seems to me idle to spend time upon questions which have troubled many Lincoln students. Was Lincoln an atheist? Was he an infidel? Was he a Spiritualist? Was he a Roman Catholic, a Quaker, a Baptist, a Methodist, a Presbyterian, a Universalist? Was he, indeed, a Christian?
