Over two hundred years ago, Thomas Jefferson began to carve away
at the King James Bible with a razor-an action considered by some
then and today to be blasphemous-out of a desire to produce a
linear narrative of the life of Jesus of Nazareth free of claims of
divinity or mentions of miraculous events. The work he produced,
"The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth," has since come to be
known as "The Jefferson Bible."
The words and story of Jesus of Nazareth as compiled by Thomas
Jefferson are now available in modern English for the first time.
Dan Marshall has pored over the Open English Bible translation to
bring you those verses selected by Jefferson himself. The OEB
translation was released in 2010 by the Open English Bible Project
(www.OpenEnglishBible.org). Written at a high school reading level,
it was designed with usability, readability, and accuracy in mind.
Thanks to these modern efforts, you can understand the Gospel
passages culled by Thomas Jefferson in a way never before possible.
Learn the story of Jesus as viewed by one of America's most
well-known Founding Fathers.
Immediately following "The New Jefferson Bible," Dan Marshall
presents his vision of the teachings and life story of the person
known as Jesus, written in paragraphs instead of verses. The
Marshall edit is half the length of Jefferson's book. In holding
with the vision of rejecting the supernatural, the teachings of
Jesus are offered free of mentions of eternal life, threats of
punishment, and references to a deity. Do the moral lessons of
Jesus stand when separated from the influence of religious
authority? Readers must decide for themselves.
Get "The New Jefferson Bible: The Life and Morals of Jesus of
Nazareth in Modern English" today. It's the most famous story
you've yet to read.
