| Zusammenfassung: | The life and times of a uniquely American testamentIn his retirement, Thomas Jefferson edited the New Testament with a penknife and glue, removing all mention of miracles and other supernatural events. Inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment, Jefferson hoped to reconcile Christian tradition with reason by presenting Jesus of Nazareth as a great moral teacher—not a divine one. Peter Manseau tells the story of the Jefferson Bible, exploring how each new generation has reimagined the book in its own image as readers grapple with both the legacy of the man who made it and the place of religion in American life.Lost for decades and rediscovered by chance in the late nineteenth century, Jefferson's cut-and-paste scripture has meant different things to different people. Some have held it up as evidence that America is a Christian nation founded on the lessons of the Gospels. Others see it as proof of the Founders' intent to root out the stubborn influence of faith. Manseau explains Jefferson's personal religion and philosophy, shedding light on the influences and ideas that inspired him to radically revise the Gospels. He situates the creation of the Jefferson Bible within the broader search for the historical Jesus, and examines the book's role in American religious disputes over the interpretation of scripture. Manseau describes the intrigue surrounding its loss and rediscovery, and traces the book's remarkable reception history from its first planned printing in 1904 for members of Congress to its persistent power to provoke and enlighten us today |

Inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment, Jefferson hoped to reconcile Christian tradition with reason by presenting Jesus of Nazareth as a great moral teacher—not a divine one. Peter Manseau tells the story of the Jefferson Bible, exploring how each new generation has reimagined the book in its own image as readers grapple with both the legacy of the man who made it and the place of religion in American life.Lost for decades and rediscovered by chance in the late nineteenth century, Jefferson's cut-and-paste scripture has meant different things to different people. Some have held it up as evidence that America is a Christian nation founded on the lessons of the Gospels. Others see it as proof of the Founders' intent to root out the stubborn influence of faith. Manseau explains Jefferson's personal religion and philosophy, shedding light on the influences and ideas that inspired him to radically revise the Gospels. He situates the creation of the Jefferson Bible within the broader search for the historical Jesus, and examines the book's role in American religious disputes over the interpretation of scripture. Manseau describes the intrigue surrounding its loss and rediscovery, and traces the book's remarkable reception history from its first planned printing in 1904 for members of Congress to its persistent power to provoke and enlighten us today Jefferson, Thomas 1743-1826 The life and morals of Jesus of Nazareth (DE-588)1178720918 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf A Jefferson Bible for the Twenty-First Century Age of Reason American Humanist Association American Unitarian Association Christianity Cyrus Adler Douglas Lurton Gnostic Gospels Jefferson’s Extracts from the Gospels John Adams John Dominic Crossan Monticello The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth The Power of Positive Living Unitarian Universalist atheism atheist founding fathers historical Jesus rationalism secular Jesus separation of church and state RELIGION / Religion, Politics & State bisacsh Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 gnd rswk-swf Jefferson, Thomas 1743-1826 The life and morals of Jesus of Nazareth (DE-588)1178720918 u Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 s Geschichte z DE-604 https://doi.org/10.1515/9780691209685 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
