  • "The avoiding shellfish was easy. The stoning of adulterers proved a little more difficult and potentially controversial. Was it enough to walk up to an adulterer and gently touch them with a stone? With female adulterers in Manhattan, even that could be grounds for accusations of assault."

  • "Czy w XXI wieku można żyć przestrzegając w sposób dosłowny wszystkich biblijnych zakazów i nakazów? Wielbić Boga na nowojorskiej ulicy grą na dziesięciostrunowej harfie, obmywać nogi bliźnim, kamienować cudzołożników?"
  • ""Qué sucede cuando un hombre de hoy en día se decide a vivir tal y como dicta la Biblia? No hablamos sólo de los Diez Mandamientos ni del 'Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo, ' sino del sinfin de pequeñas reglas a menudo ignoradas. Déjate crecer la barba. Lapida a las adúlteras. No vistas ropas confeccionadas con mezcla de distintas fibras. El resultado es sorprendente, necesario y divertido: una mirada desvergonzada y respetuosa a un tiempo sobre el libro más influyente jamás escrito."--Back cover."
  • "Issu d'une famille laïque, mais frappé par l'importance de la foi dans le monde contemporain, le narrateur, journaliste, décide de se conformer aux préceptes de la Bible pendant un an. En découle un voyage spirituel à la fois drôle et profond, révérencieux et irrévérencieux, personnel et universel. Avec des traductions de la Bible."
  • "The author presents his memoir on attempting to obey the Bible as literally as possible for one full year and offers cultural commentary on visiting a creationist museum, singing with the Amish, dancing with Hasidic Jews, studying with Jehovah's Witnesses, observing snake handlers, and more."

  • "Raised in a secular family but interested in the relevance of faith in our modern world, A.J. Jacobs decides to 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 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 embeds himself in a cross-section of communities that take the Bible literally: he tours a creationist museum and sings hymns with Amish; he dances with Hasidic Jews and does Scripture study with Jehovah's Witnesses. He wrestles with seemingly archaic rules that baffle the 21st-century brain, and he discovers ancient wisdom of startling relevance.--From publisher description."
