A.J. Jacobs says he's officially Jewish, but "in the same way Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant". But after being raised in a secular New York City household, he decided to live an entire year following the word of the bible-- literally. He joins Kojo to discuss the big rules (thou shalt not kill), the obscure ones (no mixed fibers), and his personal adventures with "the Good Book".
