RE: Lincoln's Christianity by Michael Burkhimer
It sounds like an interesting book. I have come across references that Lincoln was called The Comforter or The Christian's Comforter. Or at least
he was written up in a series which became a book by that name. And I think there is a bible mention of the comforter of Christians. Undoubtedly he had read that passage, though I don't know if Lincoln mentioned it in any of his writings. I wonder if Rev Beecher or his sister may have later applied that name to Lincoln. It gives every indication to me of him being a stalwart Christian.
