«The Year of Living Biblically» is the memoir and humour book by A. J. Jacobs, published by William Heinemann Ltd in paperback (400 pages, in English).
Raised in a secular family, A. J. Jacobs decides to live a year following the hundreds of lesser-known rules of the Bible: he prays, shepherds sheep in Israel, always tells the truth and visits a creationist museum. His beard grows so long that he is mistaken for ZZ Top; he dances with Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn and studies with Jehovah's Witnesses seeking meaning in archaic laws.
The work carries the subtitle «One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible» and won the NAIBA Book of the Year 2008 in the non-fiction category.
For readers interested in religion, spirituality and humorous memoirs, both believers and sceptics, and for reading groups.
Arnold Stephen Jacobs Jr., commonly called A.J. Jacobs, is an American journalist, author, and lecturer best known for writing about his lifestyle experiments. He is an editor at large for Esquire and has worked for the Antioch Daily Ledger and Entertainment Weekly.
