Here is the faith of Thomas Jefferson, the strikingly modern religious and moral views of the father of America's religious freedom, compiled from all extant sources and presented in his own stirring words. No library is really complete without this annotated volume, a unique, basic document that offers all, regardless of creed, the teachings of Jesus. Included is a complete facsimile of the priceless, single-copy original of the now legendary "Jefferson Bible" - his own selection, in English, Greek, Latin and French, of those Biblical texts most clearly showng, in his view, the essentials of Christianity. For easier reading, the English text is also printed separately with a table of the texts. There is a special section containing a comprehensive collection of Jefferson's letters and other writings on the subject of religion. This single, complete and handsome volume sets forth a great American's conception of the "the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man." 384 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
