jefcaine 's review for:
I first read this book over 10 years ago when I was a Christian. The boldness of the experiment stuck with me all this time so I finally got around to re-reading it this time as a nonbeliever. While some aspect of Jacobs' experiment comes off as a gimmicky stunt, he really does approach the challenge with an open mind, a desire to learn, and a commitment to the bit. For anyone who wants to claim the Bible is clear - this is a great demonstration of how bizarre and convoluted the good book really is.
I do wish he'd spent more time on the Jesus teachings, particularly the extreme commands no one seems to follow about forsaking your family, selling all your possessions and giving the money to the poor etc.
