RE: Wayne Temple thesis on why the Lincolns got married quick.
Wayne Temple laid out the idea that the Lincolns married so suddenly in 1842, because Mary was pregnant in "From Skeptic to Prophet" a wonderful book on Lincoln's religion.
Mike, how does it address Lincoln's religion? AL was very non-committal when it came to his faith; it wasn't until towards the end of his life, that there is even much of record about AL and his thoughts on his faith. Does Temple use events, speeches, and such in AL's life to theorize a growth or metamorphosis over his life or say his time as President, to demonstrate a change in his faith or growth into a faith? I am just curious because with the right research, and a well written book, paper, etc. theories, based on facts, reasonably drawn, are the most interesting pieces, in my opinion.
