I was surprised to see this Jefferson and the Bible gallery at BeliefNet. The first page cites David Barton’s The Jefferson Lies, which is never a good beginning. This morning I wrote BeliefNet and asked them to correct what was wrong which would in effect mean removing most of it.…

Last night I was on Jerry Newcombe’s Monday Night Live talk show which is aired on WAFG-FM, Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Newcombe’s views lean toward the Christian nationalist side of things, having co-authored, What if America was a Christian Nation Again? with D. James Kennedy as well as George Washington’s Sacred…

Tonight, from 9:00-9:30pm, I will be on the Jerry Newcombe Show. The program can be heard live on the station’s website (look for the listen live icon in the upper right hand corner or try this link). Newcombe is author of The Book That Made America: How the Bible Formed…

Last week, the History News Network put out a call to nominate The Least Credible History Book in Print. The New York Times gave this process a boost with an article on Independence Day. The top 5 nominees are in and they are: The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths You’ve…

Friday night at the evangelical fights. After the NPR segment comes this New York Times article which covers much the same ground. It cannot be any clearer; Alan Chambers is leading Exodus from the wilderness of reparative therapy to the promised land of Grace and soul liberty. What a ride.…

Guest post by Michael Coulter David Barton was interviewed for the July 4, 2012 edition of the 700 Club. It is 9 minutes of remarkably misleading television. There are many false claims about Jefferson, but I want to focus on Barton’s reference to our book Getting Jefferson Right in this…

I don’t think I need to add much to this New York Times article. Note who is “running strong.” HNN is accepting nominations for history books that nobody should take seriously. Do you have a book in mind? Send an email to [email protected]. Next week readers will vote on the nominees to name…

David Barton will be on the 700 Club today and although the video is not yet available, a summary of his appearance is on the 700 Club website. He is supposed to talk about Jefferson and says falsely that Jefferson was an active member of the Virginia Bible Society, that…

Rolling over in their grave, they are… I wonder if Thomas Jefferson provides commentary on some of the books. Prior to the book of Revelation, Jefferson could enlighten readers with this little gem: It is between fifty and sixty years since I read it [the book of Revelation] and I…
