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.
