Jefferson regarded Jesus as a moral guide rather than a divinity. In his unique interpretation of the Bible, he highlights Christ's ethical teachings, discarding the scriptures' supernatural elements, to reflect the deist view of religion.

If God's standard is an ideal standard, then every Christian, earnest or otherwise, must judge for himself, how much sin and failure may possibly be reconcilable with the Christian's hope and Christian character. JOHN XIII. 1-17. "Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that Ilia hour was come that He should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end. "And supper being ended, the devil having now put into tho heart of Judas iBcariot, Simon's son, to betray Him; "Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He was come from God, and went to God; "Ho riseth from supper, and laid aside His garments; and took a towel and girded Himself.

What motivates people to work for justice? Recent studies have moved away from an emphasis on specific principles and toward an understanding of social and cultural forces. But what about times in history when distinct ideas were critical for positive change? The pre-Civil War abolitionist movement represents one such time. During an era when race-based slavery was buttressed by the machinery of civil law, many people developed arguments for freedom and equity that were grounded in divine law. There were Methodist witnesses for justice who lived by this distinction between civil and godly authority. While Methodism, as an institution, betrayed its founding opposition to slavery, many within the movement expressed a prophetic vision. A vibrant counterculture borrowed from Scripture and modern philosophy to argue for a “higher law” of justice. The world-changing ideas that overcame slavery in America were not disembodied and ethereal. They were mediated through the lives of multidimensional individuals. Sojourner Truth, Luther Lee, Laura Haviland, Henry Bibb, and Gilbert Haven were very different from one another. Yet they were animated by similar ideas, grounded in faith, and shaped by a common commitment to human rights.
