    "As the subject of thousands of studies, Lincoln is one of American history's most written-about individuals. It is therefore a welcome surprise to read such fresh insights as Guelzo musters here . . . In an era when democracy's death is shouted from the front page of seemingly every U.S. newspaper, it is comforting to read that Abraham Lincoln, at least, thought the effort to maintain it was not in vain." -- Booklist, "Brim[s] with worthy insights and well-selected quotations . . . Writing in the shadow of what he knows are despairing political times--the brink of a presidential contest that few seem to want--Allen Guelzo offers us the solace of Abraham Lincoln's belief in democracy . . . Thus his gift to readers: 'I offer this man's example.'" --Roger Lowenstein, The Wall Street Journal "It is impossible to read Our Ancient Faith without feeling that Guelzo wrote this book as much for himself as for us, to fortify himself for the 2024 election battle to come; and to share an illuminating and ennobling story with a people short on hope and--just as important and just as troubling--perspective." --David Shirbman, The Boston Globe "As the subject of thousands of studies, Lincoln is one of American history's most written-about individuals. It is therefore a welcome surprise to read such fresh insights as Guelzo musters here . . . In an era when democracy's death is shouted from the front page of seemingly every U.S. newspaper, it is comforting to read that Abraham Lincoln, at least, thought the effort to maintain it was not in vain." -- Booklist "Here is a penetrating look at both the seeds of American democracy and their greatest cultivator." -- The New Criterion "One may wonder, if democracy was not slavery or mastery, then what was it? The renowned Lincoln scholar Allen C. Guelzo - director of the James Madison Program Initiative on Politics and Statesmanship at Princeton University - offers an answer in his timely book." -- National Review, "Guelzo looks to the 19th century to identify the challenges of sustaining a free society. He argues compellingly that Abraham Lincoln, who fought to defend the American republic against autocratic forces in the South while restricting civil liberties in the North, can help us figure out how to strike a balance." --Parker Henry, The New York Times "Brim[s] with worthy insights and well-selected quotations . . .

    Synopsis
    An intimate study of Abraham Lincoln's powerful vision of democracy, which guided him through the Civil War and is still relevant today--by a best-selling historian and three-time winner of the Lincoln Prize *Winner of the 2024 Abraham Lincoln Institute Book Prize* *Finalist for the 2025 Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize* "It is altogether fitting and proper that, with this meditation on democracy and its most subtle defender, Allen Guelzo again demonstrates that he is today's most profound interpreter of this nation's history and significance." --George F. Will Abraham Lincoln grappled with the greatest crisis of democracy that has ever confronted the United States. While many books have been written about his temperament, judgment, and steady hand in guiding the country through the Civil War, we know less about Lincoln's penetrating ideas and beliefs about democracy, which were every bit as important as his character in sustaining him through the crisis. Allen C. Guelzo, one of America's foremost experts on Lincoln, captures the president's firmly held belief that democracy was the greatest political achievement in human history. He shows how Lincoln's deep commitment to the balance between majority and minority rule enabled him to stand firm against secession while also committing the Union to reconciliation rather than recrimination in the aftermath of war. In bringing his subject to life as a rigorous and visionary thinker, Guelzo assesses Lincoln's actions on civil liberties and his views on race, and explains why his vision for the role of government would have made him a pivotal president even if there had been no Civil War. Our Ancient Faith gives us a deeper understanding of this endlessly fascinating man and shows how his ideas are still sharp and relevant more than 150 years later.
