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...more

While I'm not a "scholar" (I only have a minor in history and all other "learning" on my part has been autodidactic) I'm not so "fussed" about this book as others seem to be. There has been great consternation since it's publication with people lining up and taking sides (largely along political lines) trying to stifle it or keep it in print.

Started The Jefferson Lies by David Barton. So far, it is a page turner (despite the numerous footnotes that can distract at times).
History is never written by its actors, and when it comes to "accuracy", it is only as good as the research, analysis and referencing done by the author. David Barton is a strong historian. Even if some claim that he has a religious agenda, I find interesting to review historical periods or people using someone else's looking glass: up to me to decide if I believe i...more

In addition to the historical errors, this book suffers from two primary problems:

First, there is significant weight to the argument that Barton is responding to straw men. While he claims to be responding to the “twentieth-century practices that now dominate the study of American history and its heroes: Deconstructionism, Poststructuralism, Modernism, Minimalism, and Academic Collectivism.” (xvi), an examination of his footnotes tells a very different story. For chapters 3-7, Barton takes a spe...more

I sat in Barnes and Noble yesterday and read this book. I wouldn't buy - thank God I didn't.

David Barton isn't an historian. He's a preacher. It shows.

It's obvious that his heroes in history didn't exist - but they are still his heroes nonetheless. He creates his heroes out of the past by picking great deeds and then assigning to those deeds men of character and resilience that he would admire in men of the present. Then he assigns those characters the names of those men in the past who accomp...more

Nor will I buy gold from whatever company he preys on the fears of the elderly for. However, this book recalibrated my views on a central figure in our nations history and would have gotten a fourth star but it was just a little too repetitive for me to give it that one. But every American should read it. I learned some new things, but more importantly, learned things I thought to be true were lies and vice versa.

I was shocked at just how little I knew about the DNA testing, to start with. The fact that the DNA evidence has shown that he wasn't the father is interesting, particularly as I had just assumed that he had fathered several children with at least one slave (now it appears it might have been some male relative, but not him)
Admittedly at least some of my education on the matter came from a Family Guy episode, so that could be part of it. Astonishingly, political attack ads are still believed some 200+ years later even by educated people.

The fact that he owned slaves all his life because he was legally not allowed to free them was also news to me. It's a fascinating tidbit that gets conveniently ignored.

It doesn't surprise me that a man as prolific and long-lived as Jeffferson would have many conflicting statements and actions concerning religion. Take the rough average of his sentiments and it is clear that he was very much a christian. Again, this was news to me. I wouldn't be shocked if Jefferson was one of the 'least'
religious Founding Fathers, if only because the bar is pretty high. And 'forcing' Christianity on the Indians has a far different connotation now. Then it was a corporal work of mercy and the duty of all good christians to proselytize to the heathens who did not know the joys of guilt, shame and a complete lack of sex.

All in all it was a pretty revealing book. you get a sense of the author's indignation at the smearing of what is obviously one of his heroes, and it is righteous indignation. Worth the read for every American.(less)

Prior to reading this book, I had only surface-level knowledge of Thomas Jefferson. I knew he was an important and central figure in the founding of America, and I also suspected he was an intellectual genius.

I knew he was an important and central figure in the founding of America, and I also suspected he was an intellectual genius.

There were many things I’d heard about him that troubled me, though, too. I knew he owned slaves. I’d heard the rumors about illegitimate children. Vaguely remembered there was a movie with that premise. (Never saw it.) I also was used to hearing that he was a deist, or possibly an atheist.

“The Jefferson Lies” really informed and improved my opinion of Jefferson. It is skillfully written and divided into logical chapters—one for each of the apparent lies told about the famous founder. Each chapter then refutes, or at the very least, draws into serious question, the commonly held belief about him.

Unlike many books that deal with history or historical figures, this book isn’t a slog to get through. It is a brisk read, yet it is filled with vital history—and much of it through the words of Jefferson himself.

I appreciated the fact that the author gives context for what Jefferson said and did. Often this is left out of the discussion. But in a brief manner, Barton manages to paint Jefferson into the tapestry of the times he lived in.

I also liked the breadth of Jefferson’s life being mentioned and explored. It is true that most people’s opinions and beliefs change over time, and it is easy for sloppy historians to characterize an individual by a particular instance in their life, or a particular comment. To fit their own preconceived notions.

(This book is HEAVILY footnoted, BTW. It has nearly fifty pages of footnotes, printed in a tiny, tiny font.)

All in all, I think “The Jefferson Lies” is a great primer on the life of a great man. As mentioned, my attitude toward Jefferson has changed. What started as an important, yet intellectually troublesome, individual for me has become one of the founders I’d most like to meet, second only to Washington.

I recommend this book to everyone.

As Thomas Jefferson's 6th great nephew, I have some interest in the topic and have seen a number of refutations of the Sally Hemings dna "proof" issue in the past few years. But I had not paid as much attention to the charges that Jefferson was a racist, an atheist, that the University of VA which he established was designed as anti-religion, anti-clergy and purely secular.

Deconstructionism is the practice of tearing down heroes and institutions. The second practice employed by historians is Post structuralism. Post structuralism is the belief that each individual interprets history by himself using only his/her personal feelings to judge it. The third is Modernism which is judging history in today’s context. The fourth is Minimalism which involves making broad conclusions about an event or person based on scant information. The final malpractice is Academic Collectivism. This is reporting history based upon the writings of others rather than original source documents.

The author blames these malpractices for the seven most common lies told about Thomas Jefferson. He then proceeds to explain why they are lies.

The most common item of information told about Thomas Jefferson is that he fathered a child from his slave Sally Hemings. The author’s disproving surprised me. I erroneously thought that it was a proven fact. However, not only is not proven it is highly unlikely. Noted historian Joseph Ellis wrote in Nature magazine that DNA has proven conclusively that Thomas Jefferson was the father of at least one of Sally Heming’s children. His story was based off of a story that appeared in Science magazine. This made huge headlines in 1998. However, just 8 weeks later his sensational article was retracted. The reason is that the Y chromosome identified in Heming’s descendents could be traced to any one of 26 Jefferson males. The more interesting point made in this book is that Jefferson scandal was released possibly to act as diffusion to President Clinton’s concurrent scandal.

The rest of the points deal primarily with Jefferson’s supposed lack of religious faith. I think the author adeptly proves that Jefferson was a religious man and not a deist, agnostic or atheist.

The only point I disagree with is that he insinuates that Jefferson was somewhat of a victim to the scandalmonger James Callender’s vicious written attacks on Washington and Hamilton. It is, however, well known that Thomas Jefferson had funded Mr. Callender.

It looks like for political reasons, the publishers gave into pressure and pulled the book. As a result, many now get the pleasure of dismiss this book as a pile of BS without even reading it. On amazon there are multitudes of petty reviews by people who merely got on to bloat over the fact that a book by a Christian author was pulled off the shelf. It really is sad, for "The Jefferson Lies" is incredibly well documented and based primarily on original sources and is presents historical facts that have purposely been censored from modern history books.

Sadly, because David Barton is an evangelical Christian, he is automatically discredited in the eyes of the general public, so no matter how factual and well documented a book written by him is, it is ruled out as propaganda, before its even read.

Because of Barton's Christians stance, people assume Barton is trying to make a case that Jefferson was a orthodox evangelical Christian. But Barton presents a much more complex picture, showing how Jefferson shifted about throughout his life. Because of this, secularist can find their pet quotes and Christians can find their own quotes, but Barton acknowledges its not so cut and dry. At times in Jefferson's life, he was far from orthodox and at other times he sounded like an passionate Christian.

one thing is Jefferson's actions speak louder then words. Its nice to learn how he donated tons of money to Christian missions, for churches to be built, for bible societies and gave bibles as gifts and spent tons of hours studying and praising the moral philosophy of Jesus. He also promoted and encouraged religious activities in the public square. He also was a hero in his day for his work for abolitionist cause, he was admired even by African Americans of the day and afterwards, who understood the difficult situation he was in, due to Virgina slave laws.

Barton is not setting out to present all the negative stuff about Jefferson that is already known, he is attempting to show the historical context and also share the rest of the story that is censored by modernist. Because Barton is showing the other-side that has been covered up, of course this book seems one sided!

But yeah, I enjoyed the book, it was of course upsetting to see to what an extent Jefferson has been slandered and misrepresented by modern writers. But once I could get past this, I could actually begin to enjoy the positive things I was learning about Jefferson. Jefferson is one of my favorite politicians and yeah, its nice to learn that I can admire him for far more then his political philosophy.(less)

It is really disheartening to see this "Jefferson debate" taking place. It seems that the atheists want to paint him with the "I am a secular" brush and the religious fanatics want to pain him with the "I am a Saint" brush. Neither one suits me at this point in time. I believe that Jefferson was a religious person as is proof by his own words on many letters he personally penned. It takes away from the other many Jefferson accomplishments. With that said, Jefferson was a complicated person in the sense that he was a well read person and a person with many interests and talents. He was a deep person that was a thinker. He wrote to his nephew, "Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." However I think that Mr. Jefferson did not want a government to be tied to any religion or any religion tied to a government.

The premise of this book is to prove the "myths" of Jefferson to be false. Although I agree with some of Mr. Barton's assertions, it seems he took the liberty to interpret certain things through a religious prism were it probably should not have been. The book however does whet the pallet to read addition works of Mr. Jefferson. One of the books recommended to me when I commented on a review at Amazon is "Twilight at Monticello: The Final Years of Thomas Jefferson" by Alan Pell Crawford. I am interested in researching the many phases of this remarkable man, specifically his religious beliefs and how they changed through out his lifetime and/or how they stayed the same.

Critics are harsh of Mr. Barton asserting that references in the book are not primary-source references. Honestly, I have not looked at all of them as more than 30% of the total pages (via Kindle) were bibliography. However, I did look at some and they appear to be "creditable". I plan to go back and review it (on the Kindle it is difficult to do though).

The book tries to dispel the myth regarding Jefferson fathering the son of one of his slaves. Mr. Barton points to media bias where false information regarding DNA results in the late 1990's was leaked and all media outlets ran with the story. A couple of weeks later, the source admitted that the information was false. The retraction did not get the same fan-fair as did the former story.

Other myths included: Jefferson starting a secular college (University of Virginia) in 1819, The writing of the "Jefferson Bible" which we know he did, and why he actually did it, also the myth that Jefferson hated clergymen. These are just a few. If you like Jefferson, I recommend the book at a minimum for contrast to other works about Jefferson. An author I know said "..Barton starts with his conclusions and then tries to prove them." this is true. If you are opened minded and take it as a contrast piece, you should be OK.(less)

David Barton isn't a historian. I don't know. This book somehow left me the impression that he just wrote this book to manipulate history. Or mythology. Or maybe both of them. He tried to show off as heroes people that were incapable of achieving something worthy of being read. If all these "heroes" were alive today, they would publicly accuse Barton that he made them look like idiots.
2 out of 5 stars, only because the plot was somewhat interesting. I'd definitely not recommend it to anyone.
