{"product_id":"the-jefferson-bible-thomas-jefferson-9781616401863","title":"The Jefferson Bible: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth","description":"Though its author called it The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, the prominence of said author led to the inevitable informal title by which it is known today: The Jefferson Bible. American legend THOMAS JEFFERSON (1743-1826)-author, statesman, and third president of the United States-was a deist, a believer in, at best, a watchmaker god, one who did not take a personal interest in the goings-on of humanity. But Jefferson took great comfort from the teachings of Jesus, and so, by editing and rearranging the traditional books of the Bible, Jefferson here retells the story of Jesus in chronological form, removing all supernatural elements but retaining the beauty and the wisdom of the philosophy of Jesus. Jefferson, who had no desire to preach, refused to let his Bible beyond a circle of close friends, and it remained unpublished until 1895. Today, it is one of the most astonishing-if oblique-works of cultural and theological criticism in the English language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Jefferson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1616401869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616401863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Cloth","brand":"Thomas Jefferson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790328557823,"sku":"9781616401863","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dcb38a31-2dea-4981-bd0c-0bc6f1decb66.jpg?v=1707288618","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-jefferson-bible-thomas-jefferson-9781616401863","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
