The Jefferson Bible: An Introduction to Making Whiskey, Gin, Brandy, Spirits

Autor Thomas Jefferson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2011
A work of extraordinary historical and theological significance, The Jefferson Bible details Thomas Jefferson's famous attempt to retell the events of the New Testament without the inclusion of miracles or other supernatural elements. Conforming largely to the staunch deism of the time, Jefferson's interpretation of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ rejects all forms of divine intervention, including the Trinity and resurrection.

Descriere

"The Jefferson Bible," or "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth," as it is formally titled, was Jefferson's effort to extract the doctrine of Jesus by removing sections of the New Testament containing supernatural aspects as well as perceived misinterpretations he believed had been added by the Four Evangelists. This edition is a reprint of 1902 Edition.

Cuprins

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.

Recenzii

Religion in America [gained] something unique from Jefferson. . . . His Jesus was a figure fitted for the Enlightenment, rational but not divine.—Gustav Niebuhr, New York Times

"The Founding Father's treatment of the Bible was radical. . . . Today, historians such as Yale University's Jaroslav Pelikan are struck by the project's 'sheer audacity' . . . Jefferson's Bible is a curious sidelight on an ever-intriguing figure, whose image has become more controversial in recent years."—Richard N. Ostling, Associated Press

"Gives us a preaching Jesus of distinctly human dimensions, without miracles or resurrection. [A] fascinating document, telling us a great deal about a great eighteenth-century mind and its world." —Charles S. Adams, Religious Studies Review

"These excerpts from the four Gospels are among the most interesting and compelling in all of the Scripture. They emphasize Jesus' ethical lessons of love, reverence, forbearance, reproachment, repentance, and forgiveness." —Garrett Ward Sheldon, Virginia Magazine of History and Biography
