The Year of Living Biblically

The Year of Living Biblically

"The Year of Living Biblically: : One Man's Humble Quest to follow the Bible as Literally as Possible" is a book by A. J. Jacobs, an editor at "Esquire" magazine, published in 2007.He relates a year he spent trying to follow all the rules and guidelines he could find in the Bible, which turned out to be more than 700. For the first nine months, from August to May, he followed the rules in the Old Testament and immersed himself in Jewish culture before focusing on Christianity and the New Testament in the final three months.

In the book, Jacobs confronts a majority of the biblical rules, both the obscure and the well-known, and tries to follow them as literally as possible.
