| Summary | "Abraham Lincoln's Religion" by Madison Clinton Peters is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the religious beliefs and spiritual life of Abraham Lincoln, presenting a portrait of a man whose character and principles were deeply influenced by his faith. The author delves into Lincoln's upbringing, struggles, and moral convictions to illustrate how his religious sentiments shaped his responses to the challenges of his time, particularly during the Civil War. The book is structured in three main chapters: the first highlights Lincoln's character and rise from humble beginnings to prominence; the second examines the question of whether Lincoln was a Christian, considering his spiritual evolution and relationship with faith; and the third addresses why Lincoln never formally joined a church despite his strong spiritual beliefs. Peters argues that Lincoln's faith was sincere and practical, emphasizing love and moral integrity over formal dogma. Through anecdotes and historical reflections, the author portrays Lincoln as a man whose actions and principles embody true Christianity, aligning him more with the spirit of Christ than with religious institutionalism.
