Doubting Thomas : The Religious Life And Legacy Of Thomas Jefferson

$29.99

Harvard University Professor Alan Heimert said that the evidence in this book provides, “truly new and original insight into the religious atmosphere of pre-Revolutionary Virginia, adding immeasurably to Jefferson’s own intellectual biography.” Drawing from about 1100 religious letters and papers of Jefferson, this book identifies over 200 religious leaders or groups that Jefferson either worshipped with, aided financially or corresponded with. While not denying the unorthodox writings of Jefferson late in life, the context of the vast majority of his religious correspondence and actions, and the unique religious culture of Central Virginia, show a much more nuanced picture that challenges both secular and religious scholars to reassess Jefferson’s modern image.
