I only recently became aware of the Jefferson Bible. I know it takes out many of the miracles. I believe it also has to do with Jefferson being not a fan of Paul and what he added to the Bible and the Christian religion.

Does anyone know more about Jefferson's Bible and why he didn't like Paul's slant on Christianity? What about it didn't he like? (assuming this is even the proper framing of this Jefferson Bible)

I never had much religion beyond the two Theo classes at ND. So I don't understand the theological underpinnings of trying to exclude Paul's slant on Christianity.

Thanks in advance for any insights.
