The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible by A.J. Jacobs

4.0

The introduction of the book led me to believe that author would try to live both the new and old testaments to the best of his ability. I was looking forward to hearing about the NT switch after the OT because I thought it would provide an interesting picture of how life was for early Christians who struggled with what the resurrection of Christ and its impact on Judaism of the day. At the very least, I thought there would be some humorous stories as he tried to live out the Great Commission or great his Christian brothers with a "holy kiss". The NT part of the book seemed rushed and overlooked. It was kind of a disappointment after so much detail went into the OT. Still, I applaud his effort and the appreciate the care, detail and respect with which he handled the task. It was an extremely good read.
