More about the book
Thomas Jefferson's work is a unique interpretation of Jesus' teachings, focusing on the moral principles he espoused while omitting supernatural elements such as the virgin birth and resurrection. Jefferson aimed to distill the essence of Christianity, stripping away the "artificial vestments" imposed by religious authorities. He believed that the core of Jesus' message presented the most profound moral code. The 1904 edition, intended for Congress members, includes an introduction by Cyrus Adler and showcases Jefferson's vision of a rational approach to religion.
