The Very Personal Religion of Thomas Jefferson

Mr. Jefferson's Brand of Christianity

Sewanee Review, 1913

The author argues that Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826) was neither an atheist or an Episcopalian or a Unitarian, as many have claimed. However, his fertile mind was not entirely devoid of any religious conviction but rather his views on theology were totally undigested and lacking in order and consistency. It is an interesting piece about one of America's most fascinating Presidents concerning a topic that keeps coming up again and again.

"Jefferson's Bible is one of the 'curiosities of literature'. This book, called by him, The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth was published by congress in 1904.").
