LIBRARY JOURNAL, Starred Review This is a painstakingly produced full-color facsimile of the original volume that Jefferson created, now at the Smithsonian, where it received top-level conservation treatment prior to its high-resolution reproduction here. Jefferson created his version of the New Testament by cutting and pasting from Greek, Latin, French, and English printed texts of the Gospels, which he placed in four parallel columns and accompanied with his marginal notes. This edition also contains two essays: "The History of the Jefferson Bible," in which curators at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History explain Jefferson's intent and his methods, and an essay on the volume's extensive conservation. The passages that Jefferson selected and pasted together present a much-edited, single chronological account of Jesus's life, teachings, and death-ending with Jesus's burial and avoiding redundancies. The passages are those that Jefferson deemed to be supportable by reason. The "History" essay draws parallels between the way Jefferson revised Virginia's laws and the way he revised the Bible. VERDICT Jefferson's Bible has been published before, but never in full facsimile with all its contents. With great cultural importance for all readers from preteens through scholars in American studies, biblical studies, or the Enlightenment, as well as general readers. Also a handsome gift.-Carolyn M. Craft, formerly with Longwood Univ., Farmville, VA BOOKLIST The most famous single book in America was recently taken apart and put back together to retard its further deterioration. In the process, it was digitally photographed cover to cover, which is why this edition exists. Better than those based on normal photography, this full-color reproduction of The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth Extracted Textually from the Gospels in Greek, Latin, French & English , as its compiler, Thomas Jefferson, calls it on the handwritten title page, shows what it really looks like. As the three authors of the accompanying essays on the history and the conservation of the DIY parallel-text edition concur, its tidiness is a tribute to the third president's steady hand and keen eye at age 77. Intellectually, it embodies his rationalist respect for Christianity as a moral system, not a religion. Excluding everything miraculous in the Gospels, thereby sifting, Jefferson said, "diamonds" from "a dunghill," it establishes that one Founding Father, at least, was not a biblical inerrantist. A lovely addition to thoroughgoing Americana collections. - Ray Olson

Synopsis
The Jefferson Bible , or The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth as it is formally titled, was Thomas Jefferson's effort to extract what he considered the pertinent 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. Using a razor, Jefferson cut and arranged selected verses from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in chronological order, mingling excerpts from one text to those of another in order to create a single narrative. After completion of The Life and Morals , about 1820, Jefferson shared it with a number of friends, but he never allowed it to be published during his lifetime. The most complete form Jefferson produced was inherited by his grandson, Thomas Jefferson Randolph, and was published in 1895 by the National Museum in Washington. Once published in black-and-white facsimile by the Government Printing Office in 1900 as a gift for new members of Congress, the Jefferson Bible has never before been published in color in its complete form. The Jefferson Bible, Smithsonian Edition is an exact facsimile reproduction based on the original copy in the Smithsonian collections. The Jefferson Bible, Smithsonian Edition is as beautiful an object as was so painstakingly crafted by Thomas Jefferson himself.

    The Smithsonian version of the Jefferson Bible - An interesting take on the words of the Master.

    This is the Smithsonian Edition (the best one) of President Thomas Jefferson's attempt to string together all of the sayings and teachings of Jesus Christ. Pres. Jefferson spent a lot of time cutting Jesus' words out of the King James version of the Bible, and pasting them into a book, in a chronological order that made sense to him at his time in history. It's worth a read.

    Smithsonian Jefferson Bible

    Shortly before his death in 1826, Jefferson compiled a most amazing notebook. He took a scissors to Greek, Latin, French and American versions of the New Testament, and clipped out parallel passages, gluing them into a notebook. The passages were censored if they seemed irrational or contradictory to other passages. Jefferson thus compiled the first description of what we know refer to as "historical Jesus"--the story of the man based on fact and evidence, and not belief. Jefferson was so afraid of public reaction to this intellectual exercise, he did not publish it. It basically concludes that the divinity of Jesus is without evidence.

    Great stuff

    Jefferson edited this book the way this book should have been edited. To highlight what was said to have happenned without making it mythical makes its a better book. Undoubtedly the greatest book written which talks about goodness and how to live your life. A guidebook, not a rule book.

    The book, though used, was very clean.

    The pages of the Smithsonian edition appear to be photo copies of Jefferson's cut and pasted pieces of the first few "books" of the New Testament in an attempt to place the events in chronological order. Miraculous events were omitted. The book, though used, was very clean and in pristine condition.
