"I have made a wee little book," he (Jefferson) wrote in 1816 to his old friend, Charles Thompson, "which I call the Philosophy of Jesus. It is a pardigma of his doctrines, . . . .. A more beautiful or precious morsel of ethics I have never seen."
Jefferson, a Unitarian, had and oft expressed his high opinion of the influence of religious impulses in engendering and sustaining a moral, well-ordered and productive society. However, his opinions on this matter reflected his having experienced primarily Christianity-based behavior, not Islamism.
