The life and morals of Jesus of Nazareth
Book • 1902
Thomas Jefferson created this compilation by cutting out excerpts from six New Testament volumes in English, French, Latin, and Greek, and then assembling them into a single volume.
He arranged the passages in chronological order, omitting references to miracles, the Virgin Birth, and the Resurrection.
The work emphasizes Jesus' moral teachings, particularly the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount.
Jefferson intended this compilation for his personal use, reflecting his rationalist approach to Christianity as a moral system rather than a religion.
