Lincoln's America: 1809-1865

Southern Illinois University Press, 2008

To fully understand and appreciate Abraham Lincoln's legacy, it is important to examine the society that influenced the life, character, and leadership of the man who would become the Great Emancipator. Editors Joseph R. Fornieri and Sara Vaughn Gabbard have done just that in Lincoln's America: 1809-1865 , a collection of new and original essays by ten eminent historians that place Lincoln within his nineteenth-century cultural context. Among ...

Edwards on the Will: A Century of American Theological Debate

Allen C. Guelzo

Wesleyan, 1989

very educational and well written book
I was first drawn to read this book after reading a review that Guelzo wrote about R.C. Sproul's book "Willing to Believe" in the publication "Christianity Today." I was impressed at Guelzo's command of the doctrine of free will and his criticisms of Sproul's book so I decided to see if Guelzo had himself written any books. I came across this book and decided to buy it. Having finished it, I can ...

Allen C. Guelzo

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2003

An Intellectual and Religious Biography of Lincoln
Biographies of Abraham Lincoln have tended to fall into two broad categories. The first category consists of biographies of the "subjective" Lincoln. These biographies are based largely on the many anecdotes and stories people told about Lincoln's life, typically during the early years in Illinois and concentrate on trying to explore Lincoln as a man (He remains an enigma.)The second category ...

Lincoln and Douglas Debates 1858
This book is an informative account of the debates and the caliber of politics for that time. The electorial process was as flawed then as it is now. Lincoln had the popular vote however did not win the election. However the debates exposed Lincoln to the whole country and set the stage for his later success in the 1860 Presidential Elections. James Squires, St Johns, Newfoundland, ...

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery in America

11 reviews
Allen C. Guelzo

Simon & Schuster, 2006

Excellent
Places Mr. Lincoln and the Proclamation in their correct political, social and historic contexts. For me, this makes the document the result of an act of moral and political courage. Well written and researched, this book made it easier for me to understand the 16th President, and to get behind the veil that separates us from him, socially and historically. Interesting look into a pivotal ...

Lincoln: A Very Short Introduction: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Allen C. Guelzo

Oxford University Press, USA, 2009

Beneath the surface of the apparently untutored and deceptively frank Abraham Lincoln ran private tunnels of self-taught study, a restless philosophical curiosity, and a profound grasp of the fundamentals of democracy. Now, in Lincoln: A Very Short Introduction, the award-winning Lincoln authority Allen C. Guelzo offers a penetrating look into the mind of one of our greatest presidents. If Lincoln was famous for reading aloud from joke ...

Marvin R. O'Connell

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1997

A Fine Intro to Pascal for Americans
Blaise Pascal (1623-1662,) along with Michel de Montaigne, has always incarnated the French ideal of the introspective intellectual, the man of thought engaged with the vital questions of his time, the theorist of existence fearlessly involved in life's choices. He has been a key figure to Christian and secular thinkers alike, both for his deep psychological insights into man's inner workings-his ...

Holland's Life of Abraham Lincoln

Josiah Gilbert Holland

Bison Books, 1998

Lincolnia in the Making
In 1866 Abraham Lincoln was far from the icon of American leadership and democracy that he later became, but he was already in the process of becoming. That was in no small measure because of the work of Josiah Gilbert Holland (1819-1881), whose "Life of Abraham Lincoln" was the first full-scale post-assassination biography of Lincoln and a pathmarker that fundamentally shaped the contours of ...

The Crisis of the American Republic: A History of the Civil War and Reconstruction Era (St. Martin's Press ...

Allen C. Guelzo

Bedford/St Martins, 1995

An excellent one-volume history of the Civil War
Guelzo is a distinguished intellectual historian and author of the recent superb biography, Abraham Lincoln: Redeemer President. The Crisis of the American Republic is enjoyably well-written. Social aspects of the Civil War, such as the roles of women and African-Americans, are thoughtfully considered along with the military history. Guelzo is particularly good on the issues underlying the ...
