The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths You've Always Believed About Thomas
Jefferson
America, in so many ways, has forgotten. Its roots, its purpose, its
identity?all have become shrouded behind a veil of political correctness bent
on twisting the nation's founding, and its founders, to fit within a
misshapen modern world.
The time has come to remember again.
In The Jefferson Lies, prominent historian David Barton sets out to correct
the distorted image of a once-beloved founding father, Thomas Jefferson. To
do so, Barton tackles seven myths head-on, including:
Did Thomas Jefferson really have a child by his young slave girl, Sally
Hemings?
Did he write his own Bible, excluding the parts of Christianity with which he
disagreed?
Was he a racist who opposed civil rights and equality for black Americans?
Did he, in his pursuit of separation of church and state, advocate the
secularizing public life?
Through Jefferson's own words and the eyewitness testimony of contemporaries,
Barton repaints a portrait of the man from Monticello as a visionary, an
innovator, a man who revered Jesus, a classical Renaissance man?and a man
whose pioneering stand for liberty and God-given inalienable rights fostered
a better world for this nation and its posterity. For America, the time to
remember these truths again is now.
David Barton Bio
David Barton is the Founder and President of WallBuilders, a national
pro-family organization that presents America's forgotten history and heroes,
with an emphasis on our moral, religious and constitutional heritage.
WallBuilders is a name taken from the Old Testament writings of Nehemiah, who
led a grassroots movement to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and restore its
strength and honor. In the same way, WallBuilders seeks to energize the
grassroots today to become involved in strengthening their communities,
states, and nation.
David is the author of numerous best-selling books, with the subjects being
drawn largely from his massive library of tens of thousands of original
writings from the Founding Era. He also addresses well over 400 groups each
year.
His exhaustive research has rendered him an expert in historical and
constitutional issues and he serves as a consultant to state and federal
legislators, has participated in several cases at the Supreme Court, was
involved in the development of the History/Social Studies standards for
states such as Texas and California, and has helped produce history textbooks
now used in schools across the nation.
A national news organization has described him as "America's historian," and
Time Magazine called him "a hero to millions - including some powerful
politicians. In fact, Time Magazine named him as one of America's 25 most
influential evangelicals.
David has received numerous national and international awards, including
Who's Who in Education, DAR's Medal of Honor, and the George Washington Honor
Medal from the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge. His work in media has
merited several Angel Awards, Telly Awards, and the Dove Foundation Seal of
Approval.
David and his wife Cheryl have three grown children, Damaris, Timothy, and
Stephen, and they reside in Aledo, TX.
