Abraham Lincoln quoted Jesus of Nazareth often, focusing on what scholars claimed were actual words of the historical Jesus rather than on theological embellishments by later New Testament writers. As UU and renowned author, Kurt Vonnegut, once said, “But, I say with all my American ancestors, ‘If what Jesus said was good and so much of it was absolutely beautiful, what does it matter if he was God or not?’” In what sense of the word, then, would we say that Lincoln was a “Christian?” Explore this question with TPUUF friend and social studies educator, Mike Burkhimer. Review editor of the Lincoln Herald journal, Mike has authored three books on Lincoln, including Lincoln’s Christianity. A fourth book, The Lincoln Assassination Riddle, will be published by Kent State University Press in May of this year.
