Jefferson’s Bible
A rare volume for the book-lover readers of Tom Watson’s Magazine
102 YEARS AGO
Thomas Jefferson, while “overwhelmed with other business,” cut such passages from the Evangelists as he believed would best present the ethical teachings of Jesus, and “arranged them on the pages of a blank book in a certain order of time or subject.” This book he called “The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth.”
For many years the manuscript of this wonderful book has lain in the archives of the State Department at Washington, and public clamor for its publication at last became so great that Congress recently ordered it issued as a public document—but in very limited number.
Before the original was turned over to the State Department, an accurate copy of it was made while in the possession of Col. Thomas Jefferson Randolph, Mr. Jefferson’s oldest grandson. From this copy was printed the edition now offered to our subscribers.
