The Jefferson Bible

This compact edition of Thomas Jefferson's abridgment of the Bible presents his unique interpretation of Jesus's moral philosophy, distinct from the established Christian doctrine. Over seventeen years, Jefferson meticulously selected passages from Scripture, omitting miraculous events to focus solely on Christ's ethical teachings. This hardcover replica, akin to its 1940 publication, includes an insightful foreword by Douglas E. Lurton, offering context to Jefferson's ambitious endeavor. The book stands as an accessible and dignified reflection of Jefferson's vision, appealing to both historical interest and moral inquiry.
