Jefferson Bible

The Jefferson Bible, officially titled "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth," is a version of the New Testament assembled by Thomas Jefferson. He carefully selected and removed parts of the Gospels to focus on Jesus's teachings and moral philosophy, excluding supernatural elements like miracles and the resurrection. Jefferson aimed to create a text that highlights ethical principles and the moral teachings of Jesus, reflecting his personal beliefs. It is not intended as a complete religious text, but rather as a tool for understanding Jesus’s moral message, emphasizing rationality and virtue.
