Excerpt from Religious Views of Abraham Lincoln The author feels that no apology is needed in giving out this booklet to the public. For seven years, he has sought to lay under tribute everything which might give light upon the subject herein discussed. He has received a letter from Hon. Robert Lincoln which confirms many statements contained in this work. Much could be said of the claims made by Spiritualists in insisting that Lincoln looked with favor upon their peculiar doctrine. Likewise, the Universalists have come in to announce that Mr. Lincoln threw out friendly glances at them. The author has sufficient material upon the religious glimpses of Lincoln to fill a five hundred page volume. Had the book been swelled to a full grown work, the price would have limited its sale and many would never read it because of its size. The author feels that confining the matter in these humble limits, will do more in enlightening people in regard to what Mr. Lincoln believed in spiritual things than in a more pretentious work. He has been compelled to waive the discussions and claims made by exponents of different doctrines, and devote the entire work to the question whether Abraham Lincoln was a Christian or an Atheist. No thought of money-making has prompted the attempt to give out this work. The price has been placed at such a figure to assure neither loss nor gain to the writer. Hoping that by placing our ear near the heart of our great martyr, we may be able to hear him sing his songs in the night.

Excerpt from The Religious Opinions and Life of Abraham Lincoln As page after page was read, oh, so pitifully painful, again and again the thought persistently obtruded itself that Mr. Christian had been performing the fine - tooth-comb act. He seems to have gotten together all the awful things that have been said in derogation of Mr. Lincoln; at least if there are any worse ones I certainly never have heard of them.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: The Ideal Christian It has been said of Abraham Lincoln, the humble backwoodsman who rose to be'the world's greatest governor and emancipator, that he was the m0st perfect Christian ideal outside of Bible characters. Too often ourgreat leaders limit themselves I') a certain nation or race, but this cannot be said of the two characters from whom we will try and draw some delightful and interesting comparisons. Jesus was a Jew, but more than a Jew; Lincoln was an American, but more than an American. They were what the Bible calls true Israelites and that includes all people who worship Abraham's God, regardless of nationality or color.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Religion Had this lowly born Kentucky boy been ushered into the world centuries ago in England, doubtless he would have become the father of a royal family, the founder of a kingly dynasty, the pioneer of a courtly line Whose proudest boast would be to acclaim him their progenitor. Fortunately he belongs to modern time and sprang from the loins of a democratic race in a young and democratic country, around Whose virgin brow he twined the garlands of a never-fading luster.

Excerpt from The Riddle of Lincoln's Religion When Believe-it-or-not Ripley recently told his nation-wide radio audience that Abraham Lincoln committed the entire Bible to memory, he must have relied for acceptance of this unfamiliar claim upon the gullible nature of the American people who readily believe all reports of piety ascribed to their Sixteenth President. The statement was a fabulous exaggeration, but it did renew interest in the controversy. Regarding Lincoln's religious beliefs which has been waged for more. Than three quarters of a century. What was the character of his faith? Was he an atheist or an agnostic, or did he give his assent to the doctrines prescribed by any of the several Christian Churches of his day? NO Other phase of Lincoln's career has provoked such a prolonged and spirited disagreement. An early biography written by Dr. J. G. Holland, a distinguished theologian and hymnologist, contained what was intended to be convincing evidence of the Emancipator's accept ance of Christianity. This account, which enjoyed a large circulation, was pleasing to religionists, but an outspoken group of his devoted followers, believing that quite the contrary was true, vigorously disputed the claims.
