On March 4, 1865, Abraham Lincoln delivered his second inaugural address. He invoked Scripture and discussed the ongoing Civil War in religious terms -- as divine punishment for the sin of slavery. It was a surprising speech for a man once known as a religious skeptic.
What led Lincoln to deliver such a religious speech? What were Lincoln's religious views? How did they affect his leadership? Joshua Zeitz has just written a new book to answer those questions. It's titled Lincoln's God: How Faith Transformed a President and a Nation.
