Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Was ist dran am Buch der Bücher A. J. Jacobs hat sich entschlossen, der Bibel in einem Selbstversuch auf den Grund zu gehen. Ein Jahr lang will er die biblischen Gesetze so getreu wie möglich befolgen. Er lässt sich einen Bart wachsen, begrüßt den Beginn eines neuen Monats mit einer Widderhorn-Fanfare und versucht, im Central Park Ehebrecher mit Kieseln zu steinigen. Seine Frau Julie ist keineswegs begeistert, aber Jacobs lässt sich nicht beirren. Er trifft fundamentalistische Christen, tanzt mit chassidischen Juden und reist nach Israel. Die letzten Monate sind dem Neuen Testament gewidmet. Trotz vieler merkwürdiger Begegnungen und scheinbar absurder Gesetze versteht A.J. Jacobs allmählich, welcher Sinn hinter dem Buch der Bücher steht. Am Ende des biblischen Jahres ist er zwar nicht gläubig, aber auf jeden Fall klüger: Er ist ein toleranterer Mensch geworden, der sich und anderen mehr Respekt entgegenbringt.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Now a TV series Living Biblically streaming on CBS All Access! From the New York Times bestselling author of The Know-It-All comes a fascinating and timely exploration of religion and the Bible. A.J. Jacobs chronicles his hilarious and thoughtful year spent obeying as literally as possible the tenets of the Bible.Raised in a secular family but increasingly interested in the relevance of faith in our modern world, A.J. Jacobs decides to dive in headfirst and attempt to obey the Bible as literally as possible for one full year. He vows to follow the Ten Commandments. To be fruitful and multiply. To love his neighbor. But also to obey the hundreds of less publicized rules: to avoid wearing clothes made of mixed fibers; to play a ten-string harp; to stone adulterers. The resulting spiritual journey is at once funny and profound, reverent and irreverent, personal and universal and will make you see history's most influential book with new eyes. Jacobs's quest transforms his life even more radically than the year spent reading the entire Encyclopedia Britannica for The Know-It-All. His beard grows so unruly that he is regularly mistaken for a member of ZZ Top. He immerses himself in prayer, tends sheep in the Israeli desert, battles idolatry, and tells the absolute truth in all situations-much to his wife's chagrin. Throughout the book, Jacobs also embeds himself in a cross-section of communities that take the Bible literally. He tours a Kentucky-based creationist museum and sings hymns with Pennsylvania Amish. He dances with Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn and does Scripture study with Jehovah's Witnesses. He discovers ancient biblical wisdom of startling relevance. And he wrestles with seemingly archaic rules that baffle the twenty-first-century brain. Jacobs's extraordinary undertaking yields unexpected epiphanies and challenges. A book that will charm readers both secular and religious, The Year of Living Biblically is part Cliff Notes to the Bible, part memoir, and part look into worlds unimaginable. Thou shalt not be able to put it down.
