Review

...the best book ever written about Abraham Lincoln's religious views... . this fascinating book is based on total mastery of the sources on Abarham Lincoln, and it will offer revelations even to those who have studied Lincoln for years. --David Herbert Donald, Professor Emeritus, Harvard University

...fresh information about the Sixteenth President...challenges some traditional interpretations...unsentimental analysis of Mary Todd Linocln... the peculiar cicumstances surrounder her wedding will raise many eyebrows. --Dr. Michael Burlingame, Connecticut College

....Abraham Lincoln: from Skeptic to Prophet is the most complete and reliable treatment about the subject to date, and convincingly illustrates how America's greatest president came to be one of the nation's greatest spiritual leaders.... --Steven K. Rogstad, Lincoln Felowship of Wisconsin

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely heavily researched, April 12, 2002
This review is from: Abraham Lincoln: From Skeptic to Prophet (Hardcover)
Abraham Lincoln: From Skeptic To Prophet by Wayne C. Temple (historian and former editor of the "Lincoln Herald") is a uniquely comprehensive study of an often-overlooked aspect of the man who saw the United States of America through the turmoil of the Civil War. This scholarly and seminal treatise focuses in-depth specifically upon President Lincoln's religious views. Extremely heavily researched, filled with references to primary sources and black-and-white photographs of portraits, places, and documented evidence, Abraham Lincoln From Skeptic to Prophet leaves no stone unturned in its search to uncover precisely what Lincoln believed during the different phases of his life. Abraham Lincoln: From Skeptic To Prophet is an impressive work and a "must-read" for anyone studying the life, times, and personality of Abraham Lincoln.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fact or Fiction?, August 12, 2010
This review is from: Abraham Lincoln: From Skeptic to Prophet (Hardcover)
This book relies heavily on research, wich is only as good as the sources used for such research, and the Corroborating evidence from many different verifiable documents, and factual history. Difficult read for me! With such a large selection of more competent authors of lincoln non-fiction.
