Saturday, October 5 - 2pm
Dr. Michael Mullin of Augustana College will look at how Lincoln dealt with the particular effort to create a constitutional Amendment making America a “Christian Nation.” In the process of exploring this question we will look at Lincoln’s view of organized religion, the role of the 2nd Great Awakening on his thought, and how Lincoln tried to bridge America’s religious divide in his Gettysburg Address and Second Inaugural Address.
