About this title: Thomas Jefferson believed that the pure-principled teachings of Jesus should have been separated from the dogma and abuse of organized religion of the day. This led him to recast, by cutting and pasting from the gospels, a new narrative of the life and teachings of Jesus.

"Brilliant editing...when considered with his design for the University of Virginia grounds sheds light on TJ's careful consideration, no, critical inquiry into the spectrum of 18th c norms. Everything is in play with reason the blade that carves the irrelevant and nonsense from core truths. UVA is an architectural analog. Though it can be debated that it is less successful as a unified work because it is new, untested function from an old form (a core campus from a Roman temple and forum), it is a gathering of edited architectural pieces (pavilions) around a new social space ruled by a Temple of reason open to the physical and intellectual frontier (west). I find both the JB and UVA profoundly inspiring as an imagining and creation of a more perfect present from a critically examined past. We need more of this now!"
"Very impressive re-reading of the Gospels according to Thomas Jefferson - a deist's look at the life & sayings of a great teacher, clearly something that would have been deeply offensive to some voters in his day - and to this day, too. Brilliant work, good intro and affrterwords also."
"This is one of history's truly great books. Thomas Jefferson, a Unitarian, believed in Jesus of Nazareth's teachings and the moral compass of his life example. He did not believe in Jesus' miracles, magic and hocus pocus. The story begins with his birth and ends with his death. Jefferson cut out all the magic tricks, and the silly pagan nonsense that Christians like to claim is essential to their faith."
"Interesting. Thomas Jefferson combined the stories and sayings of Jesus from the four gospels, removing the material relating to miracles and God and leaving a story of Jesus as a wise and good man who taught revolutionary ideas and was executed for it."
