"David Barton has devoted his life to researching American history and educating us about the Christian foundations of this nation. His most recent book, The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Lies We've All Been told about Thomas Jefferson is possibly his best, because it provides convincing evidence that Jefferson was not a Deist as many have assumed. . . . The Jefferson Lies makes a worthwhile contribution by presenting a side of Jefferson that has been largely neglected." -- Dr. John Eidsmoe , professor of Constitutional Law, Faulkner University, Oral Roberts University; Fmr. Law School Dean, author of numerous books on American history, "The revised Paperback Edition of David Barton's The Jefferson Lies is an important book. In the wake of the firestorm over the original version, David has completely reviewed his original work on his seven major myths about Jefferson. Seriously examining both praise and criticism, David has done whatever needed doing: revising, deleting, or--in most cases--sticking to his guns or making his case even more strongly. While showing the humility to adjust when necessary, he also has the courage to not back down in the face of controversy." -- Steve Fitschen , frm. research professor of law, Regent University, The revised Paperback Edition of David Barton's The Jefferson Lies is an important book.
