520    This audiobook narrated by Kerry Shale traces the life and
       times of a uniquely American testament In 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. Completed 
       in 1820 and rediscovered by chance in the late nineteenth 
       century after being lost for decades, 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 the loss and 
       rediscovery of the Jefferson Bible, and traces its 
       remarkable reception history from its first planned 
       printing in 1904 for members of Congress to its persistent
       power to provoke and enlighten us today.
