Commonly and incorrectly called “The Jefferson Bible” Jefferson
spent years of his life studying the moral teachings of great leaders
ranging from Cato to Socrates, and Plato to Cicero. He concluded that
those of Jesus were superior to all others. In 1820, he compiled over
80 of those teachings into what he titled The Life and Morals of Jesus of
Nazareth. He explained to his friends that he compiled “every text…of the
R E P R I N T S
moral precepts of Jesus” so he could more closely study “the most sublime edice of morality which had
ever been exhibited to man.” Over time, this work became known as The Jefferson Bible (even though
Jefferson himself would have disputed that title). Many today claim that Jefferson cut out the parts
of the Bible he didn’t agree with, but that’s clearly not the case. The story of Thomas Jefferson’s faith
is vast, complex, and fascinating. To learn more see The Jefferson Lies on page 20.

Abraham Lincoln carried in his pocket a spiritual book of days, titled A Believer’s
Daily Treasure, which was originally published in the mid-1800s by
the Religious Tract Society of London, ngland. There is speculation that
the devotional may have been given to Lincoln by his wife, Mary. The 2015
edition of the book includes an introduction by Carl Sandburg, which was
rst published in a 157 edition. Said Sandburg, “... it is new testimony that
he was a man of profound faith.”
