📘 Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth by Thomas Jefferson

In 1819 Thomas Jefferson produced his version of the Christian scriptures, which he assembled by literally cutting and pasting passages from the four Gospels into a single narrative. The resulting text, often called the "Jefferson Bible," presents the life, teachings and morals of Jesus of Nazareth without reference to miracles or divine claims. The book reflects Jefferson’s Enlightenment‑inspired, rationalistic approach to religion. An introduction by novelist Percival Everett accompanies the full text in this edition.
