I don't know about the Jefferson Bible, I just arrived to my own conclusions. But frankly, anyone who reads the Bible with an open mind and a bit of historical knowledge will get to the same place.
Something that really astonishes me is how little informed people are about Christianity. I mean, it has shaped the Western world inmensely. We count the years considering the time we think Jesus was born (and we've missed by a few years, apparently). In fact, the whole world, including now China and Japan, count their years since Jesus was supposedly born... And we don't get enough info about it at school. One would think it is an important historical theme, to be discussed as scientifically as possible. You know, on grounds of it being one of the pillars of the Western civilization (the other two being Greek-Roman culture and Germanic drive).
