In Search of Lincoln’s Faith

Historian Explores Inner World of America’s “Redeemer President”

The goal of his book, Abraham Lincoln: Redeemer President, is “understanding the man as a thinker, and his connections as a thinker to the larger context of ideas in the 19th century,” says historian Allen Guelzo. He explores the inner world and religious faith of the 18th president, who in the days after his death was compared to both George Washington and Jesus Christ.
