The Jefferson Bible: Reader's Edition, KJV & NASB

The "Jefferson Bible", or as described by Thomas Jefferson himself, "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth" is a fascinating adaptation of the Gospels, and an expression of Thomas Jefferson's philosophy, morality, and religious beliefs.Jefferson carefully reconstructed a linear retelling of the life of Jesus of Nazareth by combining pieces of all four Gospels, to create a cohesive narrative focused on moral teachings. Jefferson's volume was hand-constructed as a side by side presentation of Greek, Latin, French, and English (KJV).This edition seeks to present his work in a uniquely accessible manner for a modern audience. The original King James verses are presented alongside a modern NASB 2020 translation to allow an appreciation for his experience, while providing the accessibility and accuracy of a modern translation. This edition has been carefully constructed using Smithsonian Institute scans of Jefferson's original creation.Additionally, a complete reference is included of both of passages selected and a comparison of all revisions made by Jefferson.
