Walking in God’s Sandals
Author AJ Jacobs tells Nicky what happened when he spent a year following every instruction in the Bible - stoning adulterers, wearing only white and growing an enormous beard.
Journalist and author AJ Jacobs tells Nicky about his year long mission to understand the bible better - by following every rule it sets. From not shaving the corners of his beard, to stoning adulterers and having to bring his own camping chair on the subway because of some extremely restrictive rules on where he could sit. He and Nicky discuss how much of the bible was meant to be taken literally, why people are drawn to men with big beards and white robes and why a non religious life can still be sacred.
