Publisher's Summary

Did you know that Thomas Jefferson rewrote the Bible?

Although one can speak of Thomas Jefferson in a tediously factual way, he was an enigma. Historically, he is noted for writing the Declaration of Independence, which was a daring and courageous statement of the rights of Americans and, indeed, of all people.

Hidden beneath the many cloaks of legalistic terminologies that he was fond of using, all the strengths and vulnerabilities of Jefferson as a man were there, too. Like many people of today, he had a difficult childhood. He also liked to party while in college and loved to play the fiddle.

The names of his friends and colleagues are featured in all the history books of yesteryear and today - Patrick Henry, John Adams, George Washington, Lewis and Clark, Benjamin Harrison, and Lafayette. Thomas Jefferson also knew the scoundrels of the day like Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr.

He was not only a lawyer, a statesman, and a founding father of the USA but a political and moral philosopher. He even rewrote the Bible. But that's not all....
