Religious Views Of Abraham Lincoln Classic Reprint PDF Download

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.
