The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth (1904) is the reprint of The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth (1820 Jefferson), book--a book by Thomas Jefferson, edited by Cyrus Adler.

Abstract

Facsimile reproduction of Jefferson's manuscript (the original consisting of hand-written table of texts and title page, followed by cut-and-pasted print extracts of Gospel texts from various editions in the several languages, with the title page and "Table" in Jefferson's handwriting).

By cutting those passages that Jefferson deemed later additions by the Church, Jefferson created an harmonized "gospel" (the "Jefferson Bible"). The life of Jesus by Jefferson omitted any references to miracles, angels, the resurrection and the divinity of Jesus.

Editions

Written around 1820, it circulated privately among Jefferson's friends and passed among his relatives. Rediscovered in the 1895 at the Smithsonian, it was first published in 1902 in St Louis, MO and then in 1904 by the Congress in Washington, DC.
