other notes
The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth was released to the public in 1904. Compiled by the Unites States of America's third president, Thomas Jefferson, around 1819-1820, The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth is a look at the Four Gospels of the Christian New Testament through the eyes of a rationalist. The work is little more than a rearrangement of the Gospels, with numerous miracles and references to Jesus's divinity as well as redundancies between the Gospel writers cut out. Jefferson did add a table of contents to his book, which is reproduced here, and added parallel translations in three other languages beside the English translation. These are not reproduced here.
Except for the lack of parallel translations I left Jefferson's compilation intact. The fonts used for this document are sans-serif, specifically Bitstream Vera Sans, and the words of Jesus are colored a light violet.
