The Jefferson Bible

Author: Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson completed this book around 1820, at age 77. His aim was to reveal the most genuine teachings from the New Testament. He was trying to find the very essence of the Christian faith and to share it in its clearest form. When finished, it was bound together but never produced for distribution. After Jefferson passed away the book remained hidden within his family until it was purchased in 1895 for the National Museum, which became the Smithsonian Institution. Soon after, it was privately printed for Congressional members. Starting in 1905, each new Senator and Representative received a copy. One no longer needs to be a member of Congress in order to experience the beliefs of this brilliant third U.S. President.
