Shellfish was simple to avoid. Adulterers' stoning turned out to be a bit trickier—and maybe contentious. Was it sufficient to approach an adulterous and give them a light stone touch? With all the female adulterers in Manhattan, even that may give rise to charges of assault. What then should a decent youngster who reads the Bible do?
A.J. Jacobs, who was raised in a secular home but is becoming more and more intrigued by the value of religion in the contemporary world, makes the bold decision to follow the hundreds of lesser-known commandments. The next spiritual trip will open your eyes to the most important book in history and will be both deep and hilarious, serious and irreverent, personal and global.
