Thomas Jefferson never stopped questioning - not his country, his faith, or himself. In 1820, he sat alone at Monticello with scissors, glue, and a Bible, cutting away the miracles and mysticism to reveal what he called "the most sublime and benevolent code of morals ever offered to man."

The Jefferson Bible: The Third Testament is a contemporary retelling of that work - a modern English edition of Jefferson's Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, restored and reimagined by journalist and storyteller Jim Heath. This edition presents the words of Jesus exactly as Jefferson curated them: stripped of dogma, superstition, and fear, revealing a revolutionary moral vision rooted in humility, mercy, and truth.

In a time when religion and politics are once again entangled, The Third Testament invites readers to rediscover what Jefferson found in the teachings of Christ - not a call to worship, but a call to live better.
