Jefferson Bible



The Jefferson Bible, or The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth as it is formally titled, was a book constructed by Thomas Jefferson in the latter years of his life by cutting and pasting (literally with a razor and glue) numerous sections from the New Testament as extractions of the doctrine of Jesus. Jefferson's condensed composition is especially notable for its exclusion of all miracles by Jesus and most mentions of the supernatural, including sections of the four gospels which contain the Resurrection and most other miracles, and passages indicating Jesus was divine.

Thomas Jefferson took out everything supernatural and left the moral teachings. "There will be found remaining the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man." I wonder how things would have turned out if people just considered Jesus one of the greatest moral philosophers instead of the "Son of God".
