A.J. Jacobs: Holier than thou?
October 31st, 2007 by Adina Fleming in Books & Readings
At the risk of committing a biblical sin, author A.J. Jacobs would like to boast. “I’m on the cover of an evangelical Christian magazine at the same time as I’m in Playboy and Penthouse!” he declares with pride over the phone from Toronto, where he’s promoting his latest book.
In The Year of Living Biblically: One Man’s Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible (Simon & Schuster), Jacobs chronicles a timely exploration of religion that follows the Esquire senior editor through the ups, downs and quizzical looks of living the ultimate biblical life. Jacobs’ appearance will be one of the highlights of the 16th annual Book Festival of the MJCCA, which kicks off this weekend.
