Hail To The Chief: Presidential Speeches And The Bible
Where have many commanders in chief turned to for inspiration, comfort, and direction at critical crossroads of American history? The Bible. American Presidents have frequently cited the Bible in inaugural addresses, State of the Union speeches, and beyond. These Bible verses have been used to call citizens to action, as inspiration to a country divided or at war, and sometimes as a comfort in times of national tragedy. This eight-day plan gives you a glimpse at different presidents, including Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy, and how they incorporated the Bible into their speeches.
We would like to thank Museum of the Bible for providing this plan. For more information, please visit: www.museumofthebible.org
