Lincoln's Sacred Effort : Defining Religion's Role in American Self-Government Paperback / softback
by Lucas E. Morel
Part of the Applications of Political Theory series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
