Why do you suppose one of the most intelligent men in American history would remove all references to miracles from the New Testament?
Why would he remove references to the resurrection?
Thomas Jefferson is usually given credit for writing the Constitution. So, why would a man who help found this "Christian nation" re-write the bible to remove all references to the "Trinity"?
Excerpted from Wikipedia article:
"Miracles and references to the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus are notably absent from the Jefferson Bible. The Bible begins with an account of Jesus's birth without references to angels, genealogy, or prophecy. The work ends with the words: "Now, in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they Jesus. And rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed." There is no mention of the resurrection."
