| Summary | "Abraham Lincoln: Was He a Christian?" by John E. Remsburg is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work engages in a controversial examination of the religious beliefs of Abraham Lincoln, one of America's most revered presidents, asserting that he was not a Christian despite popular claims to the contrary. The text is dedicated to dissecting various testimonies about Lincoln's faith, providing evidence from numerous contemporaries and biographers, and challenging the notion that he held Christian beliefs throughout his life. The opening of the volume sets the stage for a rigorous inquiry into Lincoln's religious identity, noting the historical debate that has persisted since his death. Remsburg outlines the claims made by various biographers who posited that Lincoln was a devout Christian, juxtaposing this with testimonies from those who argue against that narrative. Alarming discrepancies and counterclaims are presented, as Remsburg emphasizes the importance of truth over popular belief. Throughout, he outlines Lincoln's complex and nuanced perspective on religion, suggesting that his views were more in line with rationalism or Deism rather than conventional Christianity, positing that altering perceptions of his faith would only enhance his legacy.
