In celebration of Presidents’ Day, which honors George Washington, the USA’s first president as well as the other presidents of the United States, I though I would link to the Smithsonian Channel’s videos on the Jefferson Bible.
At age 77 and living at Monticello in retirement following his two terms as President, Jefferson completed a project that he had long planned and long discussed with others. Jefferson compiled his own text, drawn carefully from passages extracted out of the New Testament, that he titled “The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth.”
