Nearly two centuries after his death, Thomas Jefferson continues to be the subject of competing claims about his public policy and private beliefs.
In Getting Jefferson Right: Fact-Checking Claims About Thomas Jefferson, two conservative scholars examine key claims frequently made by religious conservatives about Thomas Jefferson. Using Jefferson's correspondence, accounts of Jefferson's contemporaries, and other primary sources, Throckmorton and Coulter separate fact from fiction.
In the first edition, the authors focused on claims made by David Barton in his book The Jefferson Lies. Barton's book was subsequently pulled from publication by Christian publisher Thomas Nelson due to historical errors. However, The Jefferson Lies was subsequently republished and criticized the conclusions of Getting Jefferson Right. In this third edition of Getting Jefferson Right, Throckmorton and Coulter respond to the second edition of The Jefferson Lies as well as additional claims about Jefferson in a new book by Stephen Wolfe titled The Case for Christian Nationalism.
To address these Christian nationalist claims, Throckmorton and Coulter take on the following questions and much more:
-What did Jefferson mean by wall of separation between church and state?
-Did Jefferson sign his presidential documents, "In the year of our Lord Christ?"
-Did Jefferson and other Founders finance a Bible in 1798 to get the Word of God to America's Families?
-Did Jefferson found the Virginia Bible Society?
-Was Jefferson an orthodox Christian, who only rarely expressed questions about orthodox Christian doctrine?
-Did Jefferson approve laws providing federal funds to evangelize Indians?
-Did Jefferson edit the Gospels of the New Testament to remove supernatural sections he disagreed with?
-Did Virginia law keep Jefferson from freeing his slaves?
-Did Jefferson father children with Sally Hemings?
-Did Jefferson attempt to influence the creation of the Bill of Rights?
The aim of the authors is to get Jefferson right.
Praise for Getting Jefferson Right:
If the United States survives this latest surge of Christian nationalism -- the mistaken notion that America is and always has been a Christian nation -- no small measure of credit will be due to Warren Throckmorton and Michael Coulter. Their work in uncovering and exposing the falsehoods perpetrated by David Barton and the Religious Right is nothing short of heroic. These historical distortions strike at the heart of America’s genius, the First Amendment and the separation of church and state, and if we as a nation follow the course Barton and others prescribe, both individual liberty and religious integrity will suffer. Calmly, patiently, and painstakingly – without favor or rancor – Throckmorton and Coulter dismantle the lies and the distortions that have fueled the misguided push for Christian nationalism. -Randall Balmer. Episcopal priest and John Phillips Professor in Religion, Dartmouth College
One fundamental mark of Christians, especially in our politicized and polarized age, should be that they insist on truth versus partisan lies. Throckmorton and Coulter offer conclusive proofs of how partisanship led to promoting popular falsehoods that exaggerate the roles of Christianity in America’s founding. Anyone seeking an accurate understanding of that history should read this engaging volume, Getting Jefferson Right. -George Marsden, Professor Emeritus of History, University of Notre Dame
Getting Jefferson Right is an excellent example of the art of historical contextualization, of trying to tell the whole story, not just part of it. For those reasons, the work should become a standard reference. -Paul Harvey, Professor of History, University of Colorado

Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
