«The Year of Living Biblically» is A. J. Jacobs's memoir, published by Simon & Schuster in paperback (416 pages, in English).
A. J. Jacobs, raised in a secular family, attempts to follow the Bible literally for a year: in addition to the Ten Commandments, he observes precepts such as not mixing fibres in clothing, letting his beard grow and always telling the truth. He visits literalist communities, such as the Amish and the Samaritans, and reflects with humour on faith and modern life.
The subtitle is «One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible»; the cover indicates it was a New York Times bestseller and inspired the series Living Biblically.
With its documentary and humorous approach, it is suitable for readers interested in religion, spirituality and memoirs, both believers and sceptics.
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.
