The Jefferson Bible


The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth Extracted Textually from the Gospels

Thomas Jefferson believed that the ethical system of Jesus was the finest the world has ever seen. In compiling what has come to be called "The Jefferson Bible," he sought to separate those ethical teachings from the religious dogma and other supernatural elements that are intermixed in the account provided by the four Gospels. He presented these teachings, along with the essential events of the life of Jesus, in one continuous narrative.

Thomas Jefferson acreditava que o sistema ético de Jesus era o mais fino que o mundo já viu. Compilando o que veio a ser chamado "The Jefferson Bible", ele procurou separar esses ensinamentos éticos do dogma religioso e outros elementos sobrenaturais que são misturados na conta fornecida por quatro evangelhos. Ele apresentou estes ensinamentos, juntamente com os acontecimentos essenciais da vida de Jesus, em uma narrativa contínua.
