Author William J. Wolf delivers more than just another biographical portrait of Henry David Thoreau -- he examines traits and aspects of Thoreau that many today would hold to be in conflict with each other. In particular, Wolf focuses on Thoreau's "religion" as expressed through his writings (Wolf himself was a professor of theology at Cambridge Episcopal School). A scholarly yet accessible read, getting at the heart of this great man's spirit.

Excerpt from The Religion of Abraham Lincoln The Almost Chosen People: A Study of the Religion of Abraham Lincoln was first published by Doubleday Company in 1959 and quickly went out of print. The revision of this book now appears as The Religion of Abraham Lincoln, simplifying the title and pointing to the content of the book rather than to the dramatic phrase Lincoln used in addressing the New Jersey Senate on February 21, 1861.
