Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lincoln's Use of the Bible
We shall speak of what others have said concerning Lincoln's use of the Bible; what he himself said of it; the use he made of it; and the influence of the Scriptures on his life and literature.
In Herndon's Life of Lincoln the partner and President is portrayed as a foe rather than a friend of the Bible. This is seen to be erroneous by simply reading his speeches, for they are like the dewdrops on the blades of green in early fall, sparkling every where. It is hard to read a great speech of Lincoln's without seeing the influence of the Bible on his life, works, and style.
