Lincoln's Christianity by Michael Burkhimer

[maharba]

My observation was intended to be diagnostic of the actions of such a person as the lawyer acting also as a comforting minister in the final illness of his client. Not to comprehend all of Lincoln's past and future actions. A snapshot. Do I have a worked up, omnibus definition of 'stalwart Christian'? No. Instead, I believe my assessment would be universally apprehended and broadly joined by those same simple Christians Lincoln was consistently seeking to reach and to sway with his scriptural references.
