*This enhanced version of The Jefferson Bible includes illustrations and Jefferson's original Letter to the Danbury Baptists about the separation of church and state.

The Jefferson Bible, or The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, as it is properly titled was Thomas Jefferson's version of the New Testament. Jefferson adapted the teachings of Jesus by removing sections of the New Testament containing supernatural parts along with areas that he felt were added by the Four Evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Jefferson cut and pasted his arrangement of the remaining verses of the New Testament in chronological order to create a single narrative.

The Jefferson Bible begins with an account of Jesus’s birth without references to angels or prophecy. Miracles, including the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus, and Jesus' resurrection, are also missing from Jefferson’s account. It does, however, include references to Noah's Ark, the Great Flood, the Tribulation, and the Second Coming, as well as Heaven, Hell, and the Devil.

The Jefferson Bible [Illustrated] edition by Thomas Jefferson Seedbox Classics Religion Spirituality eBooks

Jefferson's bible is a wonderful read. Being the superlative example of the original (and literal) cut and paste, it restates the Bible's many messages directly. What I find most interesting is his letter to the Danbury Baptists. It sheds light on his thoughts on the separation of church and state and "the rights of conscience." The only reason I rate it four stars is the inescapable fact that the verbiage is of the King James Bible, which made reading a bit stiff at times.

The Jefferson Bible [Illustrated] edition by Thomas Jefferson Seedbox Classics Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews

I've got the collector's hardback version, which I love. This eBook edition is wonderful to carry with me wherever my and I go every day.
I liked that the book followed the life of Jesus since He was born. I enjoyed the parables He told. I just liked everything about Jesus. What He said and what He did. I did miss the story of his resurrection and the visit with the apostles.
Jefferson was careful to include principally the words of Jesus. He believed in everyone’s right relate to God their way.
I bought the Jefferson Bible because I was interesting in seeing what the differences between this version and the King James Version of the Bible were. There are significant differences. This version of the Bible is very unique and is very thought provoking. I am looking forward to re-reading it.
If you are familiar with the story behind the Jefferson Bible, you will enjoy this work. I really would like to see a regular New Testament with both the Jefferson passages highlighted, so you can see what was removed. That is not what you see here. What you see here is an archaic "excerpt Bible." It is a curiosity.
If you are interested in the Bible, American history, or both, you should investigate this. Discovering what Thomas Jefferson felt were the essential elements of the Bible provides fascinating insights into the man and his time, and perhaps even into the scriptures themselves. You won't find "the whole Bible" here, so don't buy it if that is what you are looking for. Do buy it if you want to know more about Jefferson's thinking.
Well, first off, this is the "Life and morals of Jesus of Nazareth" its not the "Jefferson bible," Jefferson would have been horrified if he learned someone took a book where he compiled the moral philosophy of Jesus and called it his bible. According to the original preface, it was suppose to be for the native Indians, though there is no evidence of it reaching them, we have no right to create a new motive for Jefferson.

Next, Jefferson cutting from a bible and pasting in another book, is no reason for the delight and glee from secularist and horror from Christians. Think about it, Jefferson didn't have a computer where he could copy and paste the moral philosophy of Christ from the bible into a book, so he did exactly what I would do if I had several bibles. I personally once cut verses from a bible to paste in a painting, I suppose 200 years from now, someone will find the painting and think I was some anti-Christian, irreligious, bible hating deist, because I cut and pasted from the bible!

Now as far as the content, so many of reviews just focus and delight on what is LEFT out and yet don't feel any discomfort about what is there. Though it is obvious that Jefferson didn't allow any of Jesus' miracles to be recorded and he didn't include the resurrection of Christ at the end, it is still rather interesting what he did leave in the so called "Jefferson bible"

So yeah, for a so called "Secular humanist" among many atheist and a Deist among "Christians," how do they make sense of all Jefferson left in? For I suppose they must assume that Jefferson cut out all the supernatural crap he disagreed with, and what is left in the Jefferson bible is the "Diamonds from the dung hill". The way some reviewers are acting, I suppose we can say what Jefferson left in the Jefferson Bible, he approved of? So what are these diamonds salvaged from the dung hill?

I just read the it and inside the "Jefferson bible" we find many examples of heaven, the fires of hell and both devils and angels. Also, most of Jesus' mentions of the second coming, the final Judgment, the Kingdom of God, salvation, Jesus' mighty works and that Jesus is the Son of God are included. Jesus affirms the resurrection, Noah and the flood and Sodom and Gomorrah. Most importantly almost every reference to prayer from Jesus is in the "Jefferson bible", even God giving the Holy Spirit to all who ask. We also find fulfilled prophesy, Jesus prophesies Peter will deny him 3 times before the cock crows and later we read of this happening. So yeah, there is a lot more, I could make this into an extremely long review and just post example after example directly from the eBook, of all that shouldn't have survived Jefferson's scissors!

so yeah for a so called Deist, it sure seems Odd he didn't clip out all mentions of prayer, God's activity on the earth, as well as prophesy, the second coming, angels and demons and the Holy Spirit and Jesus being the actual Son of God, the Christ and the King whose Kingdom is not of this earth. It would be nice to find some explanation for all Jefferson left in there, if he really was creating for himself his own bible without the supernatural. Is not the resurrection, the Holy Spirit, prophesy and salvation supernatural? Oh Hitchen's and Dawkin's, how did all this nonsense make it into this book from your secular saint?

O.K with all of that aside, i must say i really enjoyed "The Life and morals of Jesus." As far as Jesus' life, its extremely brief, the book is primarily the read letters of the bible, Jesus' teachings all put together seamlessly. I am glad Jefferson did this, it was a pleasure to read Jesus' teachings without the constant interruptions of miracles.
Jefferson's bible is a wonderful read. Being the superlative example of the original (and literal) cut and paste, it restates the Bible's many messages directly. What I find most interesting is his letter to the Danbury Baptists. It sheds light on his thoughts on the separation of church and state and "the rights of conscience."
