The Imaginative Conservative: Our Ancient Faith: Lincoln, Democracy, and the American Experiment
Allen Guelzo's latest work, "Our Ancient Faith: Lincoln, Democracy, and the American Experiment," reflects on Abraham Lincoln's legacy and its relevance to contemporary America. Guelzo emphasizes Lincoln's commitment to democracy, law, and the common good, arguing that his virtues—resilience, humility, and dignity—are essential for a thriving democracy today.
Guelzo critiques modern populism and bureaucratic structures that threaten democratic consent, suggesting that recovery of this consent is crucial for a "Lincolnian future." He posits that the current divisions in society, while not as severe as those of Lincoln's time, still pose significant challenges.
