Elton Trueblood quotes:

He (Lincoln) recognized the delicate balance between immanence and transcendence, refusing to settle for either of these alone. His was a God who was both in the world and above the world.

The profound paradox is that the great man became more confident in his approach to others, including the man of his own Cabinet, but he recognized that his major confidence was not himself but in Another."

His (Lincoln's) patriotism was saved from idolatry by the overwhelming sense of the sovereignty of God.

God, Lincoln believed, is seen more clearly events that in nature, though He maybe seen there also. It is a majestic thing, thought Lincoln, for a person to be RESPONSIBLE.

It is the vocation of the Christian in every generation to out-think all opposition.

Man is most free when he is most guided.

He was too perplexed to please the conventional and too reverent. to please the infidels.
