520 1  "While it has long been determined that Abraham Lincoln's 
       writings were influenced by the King James Bible. until 
       now no full-length study has shown the precise ways in 
       which the Gettysburg Address uses its specific language. 
       Refuting the view that the address was crafted with 
       traditional classical references, this revealing 
       investigation provides a new way to think about the speech
       and the man who wrote it. A.E. Elmore offers chapter-
       andverse evidence from the Bible, as well as specific 
       examples from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, to 
       illustrate how Lincoln borrowed from these sources to 
       imbue his speech with meanings that would resonate with 
       his listeners. He cites every significant word and phrase 
       - conceived, brought forth, struggled, remaining, 
       consecrate, dedicate, hallow, devotion, new birth, to name
       a few - borrowed by Lincoln from these two religious texts
       for use in his dedication of the Gettysburg National 
       Cemetery." "Elmore demonstrates how Lincoln transformed 
       the lovely old language of the Bible and the Book of 
       Common Prayer into something as close to perfection as any
       public speech has ever achieved. He further reveals how 
       Lincoln used and transformed the language of his political
       enemies to promote his antislavery agenda and to advance 
       the gospel of equality, borrowing for example his 
       controversial "proposition that all men are created equal"
       in nearly equal parts from John C. Calhoun and the 
       Declaration of Independence." "Lincoln's Gettysburg 
       Address focuses on a number of overlooked themes and ideas,
       such as the importance of literary allusion and the 
       general public's knowledge of the Bible in the age of 
       Lincoln. It provides fresh answers to old questions and 
       poses new ones. No one who reads this highly engaging 
       study will ever think about Lincoln or the Gettysburg 
       Address in the same way again."--Jacket.
