The Year of Living Biblically by A.J.Jacobs is a great thought provoking read.
It follows one man’s journey of living the bible literally. He takes us through some of the more obscure commandents of the bible as well as the ones we all know. He shows us the different factions of christianity and how some groups take some parts of the bible literally and not others and the various rituals included in the bible.
I found this a fascinating read as I myself am not a Christian, though I have had my foray into it. I think that everyone should read this book as it opens up ones mind to seeing the faith behind the scenes.
I am also looking forward to reading his first book which is how he reads the entire encyclopedia Britanica!
