Using a literal cut-and-paste method, he removed passages he considered essential and arranged them into what became \u003cem\u003eThe Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth\u003c\/em\u003e, now commonly known as \u003cem\u003eThe Jefferson Bible\u003c\/em\u003e. The result is a focused presentation of Jesus's teachings, emphasising moral philosophy and practical ethics rather than theological doctrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work offers insight not only into the teachings of Jesus but also into Jefferson's intellectual approach, reflecting Enlightenment ideals of reason, clarity, and ethical inquiry. Often regarded as a precursor to later \"red letter\" editions of the Bible, the text foregrounds the words and moral instruction of Christ in a form designed for direct engagement and reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis illustrated edition features twelve original illustrations by Robert Scott Crandall, created to complement and deepen the reading experience while maintaining the clarity and accessibility of Jefferson's text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430646759602,"sku":"9781515422716","price":34.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/1Sr1RWmNRf9781515422716.webp?v=1783257693","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-jefferson-bible-the-life-and-morals-of-jesus-of-nazareth-illustrated-edition-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
