520			_a"Lincoln's Use of the Bible" by S. Trevena Jackson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book explores the profound impact that the Bible had on the life, thoughts, and speeches of Abraham Lincoln. It argues that Lincoln's moral compass, informed by the Scriptures, played a crucial role in shaping his character and political decisions. The book delves into Lincoln's early exposure to the Bible through his mother, highlighting how its teachings profoundly influenced his intellect and demeanor. Jackson examines various speeches and writings from Lincoln, illustrating how he frequently referenced biblical passages to convey his beliefs, particularly in the context of justice, morality, and human rights. The author compiles testimonials from contemporaries who observed Lincoln's engagement with the Scriptures, asserting that Lincoln internalized biblical principles that guided his leadership during one of America's most tumultuous periods, ultimately leaving a lasting legacy rooted in faith and moral conviction.
