Compare Lincoln's Sacred Effort by Lucas E. Morel, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Lucas Morel examines what the public life of Abraham Lincoln teaches about the role of religion in a self-governing society. Lincoln's understanding of the requirements of republican government led him to accommodate and direct religious sentiment toward responsible self-government. As a successful republic requires a moral or self-controlled people, Lincoln believed, the moral and religious sensibilities of a society should be nurtured. | Lincoln's Sacred Effort by Lucas E.
