Letters: What Did Jefferson Really Think of Christianity?
12-31-1969
There is a lot of discussion about the faith of American presidents, and one in particular: Thomas Jefferson. Some wonder where he stood exactly when it comes to Christianity.
Dr. Mark Beliles, who co-authored the book Doubting Thomas? The Religious Life and Legacy of Thomas Jefferson, explores the faith of this founding father.
Reporter/Anchor Mark Martin spoke with Beliles about the book, which among other details, contains letters written by Jefferson that have never been published until now.
