Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln's Use of the Bible When quiet in my house I sit, Thy book be my companion still; My joy thy sayings to repeat, Talk o'er the records of thy will, And search the oracles divine, Till every heartfelt word be mine. - Charles Wesley. The Bible is a book of faith, A book of doctrine, And a book of religion, Of especial revelation from God. - Daniel Webster. And weary seekers of the best, We come back laden from our quest, To find that all the sages said - Is in the Book our mothers read. - Whittier.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln the Freethinker In order to be a Christian it is necessary to believe the Bible to be a divinely inspired book. To be a Freethinker it is essential that you reject the Bible as a revelation from God. To determine, then, whether a person is a Christian or a Freethinker should indeed be very simple. A person may believe in God and yet reject the Bible as a divine book. Such a person; cannot be a Christian believer, but may be a Freethinker. A person may believe in the Bible, and according to his particular interpretation be any one of the following divisional sects of Christianity: Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist. Episcopalian, Congregationalist, Seventh Day Adventist, Holy Roller or Holy Jumper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Religion of Lincoln: A Patriotic Address Delivered in the Second Congregational Church, Waterbury, Connecticut As a church, character is our prime concern. To look for exhibitions of it in the Bible, and to ignore the Spirit's manifestation in our own history is to be blind to the fact that God is a God, not of the dead, but of the living. If He made Himself known to the 'hebrew people, then He must also have revealed Himself to the American people. And we should look to person ality, the highest we know, to find God's nature and purpose. This is the justification, if any be needed, for an inquiry concerning the religion of Lincoln. Like all true Saints, he would deny that he was one. A'man among men, his elevation was due to his humility.
