Thomas Jefferson

    13 april 1743 – 4 juli 1826

    Thomas Jefferson belichaamde het ideaal van de Verlichting en blonk uit in diverse velden, van recht en wetenschap tot muziek en architectuur. Zijn uitgebreide correspondentie en diepgaande betrokkenheid bij de wereld maken hem tot een sleutelfiguur in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis. Jefferson bezat een opmerkelijk vermogen om complexe informatie scherp te analyseren en tot de kern te destilleren, waardoor hij een onschatbaar lid van elk overlegorgaan was. Zijn theorieën over zelfbestuur en de rechten van mensen die zich in nieuwe landen vestigden, vormden het vroege Amerikaanse gedachtegoed.

      We must reduce our volume to the simple evangelists, select, even from them, the very words only of Jesus. There will be remaining the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man.—Thomas Jefferson Featuring an introduction by Forrest Church, this reissue of The Jefferson Bible offers extraordinary insight into the logic of Thomas Jefferson and the Gospel of Jesus. Working in the White House in 1804, Jefferson set out to edit the Gospels in order to uncover the essence of true religion in the simple story of the life of Jesus. Jefferson was convinced that the authentic message of Jesus could be found only by extracting from the Gospels Jesus's message of absolute love and service, rather than the miracle of the Annunciation, Virgin Birth, or even the Resurrection. Completed in 1819, this little book is the remarkable result of Jefferson's efforts.
