Given my penchant for discussing Biblical literalism on this blog, I must share this piece of news. Apparently a book has recently come out about the experiences of one man who tried to take the whole Bible completely literally – in every detail – for a year. I simply must read this book! It is by A. J. Jacobs, and the title is The Year of Living Biblically: One Man’s Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible.
There is a debate about it on Slate, and a sample chapter and video on MSNBC.
