　　“White takes us back to when great men believed in the power

of words to change the world. . . . This book . . . is a treasure

to read, a spur to thinking, a small volume with fascinating

history.”–The Denver Post

In The Eloquent President, historian Ronald C. White, Jr.,

examines Abraham Lincoln’s astonishing oratory and explores his

growth as a leader, a communicator, and a man of deepening

spiritual conviction. Examining a different speech, address, or

public letter in each chapter, White tracks the evolution of

Lincoln’s rhetoric from the measured tones of the First Inaugural

to the immortal poetry of the Gettysburg Address. As he weighs the

biblical cadences and vigorous parallel structures that make

Lincoln’s rhetoric soar, White identifies a passionate religious

strain that most historians have overlooked. It is White’s

contention that, as president, Lincoln not only grew into an

inspiring leader and determined commander in chief, but also

embarked on a spiritual odyssey that led to a profound

understanding of the relationship between human action and divine

will. With grace and insight, White captures the essence of the

four most critical years of Lincoln’s life and makes his great

words live for our time in all their power and beauty.
