Title: Score 1 - Jefferson
Review: I had heard of this work in my college days, and so bought a copy as soon as I found one. Jefferson worked on this editing of the bible while in the White House and shortly before his death. Never intended for public view (Jefferson - unlike many politicians these days considered religion a private - VERY private domain) this work was done to satisfy a private need at the urging of some of his neigbors/friends.Jefferson's work consisted on removing any miraculous references in the New Testiment as well as any stries which Jefferson did not believe held up to rational thought.It thus contains the moral precepts and teachings that Jefferson valued so highly.
Is the review positive or negative?
