1. Abraham Lincoln: Redeemer President (Unabridged)
This unique intellectual portrait explores the role of ideas in Lincoln's life. Guelzo
presents Lincoln as a serious thinker deeply involved in the problems of 19th-century
thought, including those of classical liberalism, the Lockean Enlightenment, Victorian
unbelief, and Calvinist spirituality. Lincoln emerges as a philosophical man who
appropriates certain religious values without adhering to any religion, who insists on
the pre-eminence of self-interest in spite of becoming the Great Emancipator, and
who appeals to natural law and natural theology in politics while remaining a classical
19th-century liberal in principle. Based on primary materials from a wide variety of
archives, this insightful work sheds light on the intellectual conflicts that led to civil war
and that still influence today's "culture wars."
