About this episode
He's the best president that the United States has ever had ... at least according to one 2021 C-span study.
But how did Lincoln's religious views affect his life and leadership? In this episode, Don is joined by Joshua Zeitz, author of 'Lincoln's God: How Faith Transformed a President and a Nation'.
We hear about Lincoln's journey from scepticism to spiritualism, and the growth of connections between politics and the church in the United States.
Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Siobhan Dale. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
