Overview
The story of Abraham Lincolnās faith and intellectual lifeāupdated and revised with a new prefaceāfrom the three-time winner of the Lincoln Prize and best-selling Civil Warāera historian Allen Guelzo.Ā
Allen Guelzoās peerless account of Americaās most celebrated president explores the role of ideas in Lincolnās life, treating him as a serious thinker deeply involved in the nineteenth-century debates over politics, religion, and culture. Through masterful and original scholarly work, Guelzo relates the outward events of Lincolnās life to his inner spiritual struggles and sets them both against the intellectual backdrop of his age. The sixteenth president emerges as a creative yet profoundly paradoxical manāpossessed of deep moral and religious character yet without adherence to organized religion.
Since its original publication in 1999,Ā Abraham Lincoln: Redeemer PresidentĀ has garnered numerous accolades, not least the prestigious Lincoln Prize. After writing several other acclaimed studies of Lincoln and other aspects of Civil Warāera history, Guelzo returns to update this important early work for a second edition. A new preface addresses the developments in Lincoln scholarship in the years since the bookās original publication and offers Guelzoās fascinating retrospective look at the unusual path he took to becoming a Lincoln scholar.
