Lincoln The Freethinker

By Joseph Lewis

Book Overview

Lincoln The Freethinker is a book written by Joseph Lewis that explores the religious beliefs of Abraham Lincoln. The author argues that Lincoln was a freethinker, meaning that he rejected traditional religious dogma and instead relied on reason and personal experience to form his beliefs. The book examines Lincoln's early religious influences, his views on God and the Bible, and his relationship with organized religion. Through extensive research and analysis of Lincoln's speeches, letters, and other writings, Lewis presents a compelling case for Lincoln's freethinking beliefs. The book also sheds light on the broader cultural and political context of Lincoln's time, including the rise of religious fundamentalism and the debate over slavery. Overall, Lincoln The Freethinker offers a fascinating perspective on one of America's most iconic figures and challenges traditional assumptions about his religious views.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
