The Soul of Abraham Lincoln

This work offers a measured exploration of Abraham Lincoln’s spiritual outlook, stepping away from the heated debates that have long surrounded the subject. Drawing on an extensive collection of contemporary writings, speeches, and personal recollections, the author places Lincoln within the social and religious climate of his time. His own years as a teacher and preacher in communities similar to those that shaped Lincoln give him a unique perspective on the era’s values.

The book assembles virtually every piece of evidence that has ever been published about Lincoln’s beliefs and subjects each to a careful credibility assessment. New lines of investigation and previously overlooked testimonies are introduced, helping to untangle the often‑confusing record of his faith. Readers will come away with a thoughtful, evidence‑based portrait that invites them to form their own conclusions about the President’s religious convictions.
