Thomas Jefferson's bible was NOT expurgated of all references to
Jesus Christ, but of all references to "supernatural" forces and
events (like turning water to wine, walking on water, raising the
dead, etc.).  Jefferson thought very highly of Jesus' philosophy
and preachings (The 'Semon on the Mount' survived completely
intact, I think).

This month's Smithsonian has an article on it.
