A
new book about the myths surrounding the life of Thomas Jefferson has
been dropped
from its publisher. The Huffington Post reports, “Following widespread
criticism from a diverse group of scholars, as well as the threat of a
boycott by Cincinnati pastors and church leaders, publisher Thomas
Nelson has decided to stop selling David Barton's
“The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths You’ve Always Believed About
Thomas Jefferson” due to factual errors. Casey Francis Harrell, director
of corporate communications for the Christian publishing house, told
the Tennessean that
the publisher had received several complaints about the book and ultimately
confirmed the existence of enough errors to cancel it. The book is currently still available through Amazon.com, but Harrell told the newspaper that Thomas Nelson
has stopped new shipments and is recalling the book from retailers. More from the Huffington Post.
