Negative Positive
Title: Jesus said...
Review: I have long believed that the way Jesus said to live was more important than his immortality (or mine). I knew our "Founders" didn't base our constitution on "Judea-Christian values", as is frequently proposed by somepolitical/religious leaders, but on principles of the Enlightenment which they believed would bring a new kind of government, free of religious oppression, first to America, and then to the world.The only books on the subject are very large, very scholarly, very informative, but... how nice to have this little book on my coffee table where curious minds can explore the thinking of one of America's most forward looking leaders, and read just the words of Jesus, without the mythology attached to his death by future theologians.The preface, the introduction and chapter about Jefferson's contemporaries is a history lesson everyAmerican should review. No-one who has visited my home has found it in any way offensive, but allfind it enlightening !
Is the review positive or negative?
