Thomas Nelson Pulls David Barton's Book on Jefferson in Wake of Criticism from Christian and Secular Historians

Thomas Nelson decided Thursday to stop publication and distribution of David Barton's The Jefferson Lies. The book, about Thomas Jefferson, had come under criticism from both Christian and secular historians for taking quotes out of context and making unsubstantiated generalizations about Jefferson's life.

Christian historians claim the book goes too far in concluding that Jefferson was a believer in Christ as Savior.
