Acknowledgments

I want to thank the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop in Chicago for finding for me early twentieth-century, out-of-print books about Lincoln’s religious views. The books of Edgar DeWitt, William J. Wolf, William Barton, and Dr. G. George Fox all provided invaluable research and resources.

I’m also grateful to Brian Peterson, acquisitions editor at Baker Book House, for allowing me the opportunity to share this treasure. Thanks also to Cheryl England, who dutifully transcribed notes and manuscripts. Finally, I want to thank my wife, Nancy, for her enduring support. She always helps the most.
