Jefferson on Revelation
Jonathan Rowe on Mar 6th 2008
Commenter Brian asks for evidence that Thomas Jefferson or James Madison believed in the legitimacy of any revelation. I explored the question with regard to Jefferson in this post. I really didn’t touch Madison, whose views on revelation are hard to pin down. The best evidence nonetheless indicates Madison’s views were exactly like those of the other key Founders — some revelation is legitimate; some is not; man’s reason determines which is what.
