    Story
    "Entertaining look at the perils of fundamentalism."

    While he ultimately discovers meaning in some of the most problematic of the Bible's laws, A. J. Jacob's entertaining recollection of his effort to live a literally Biblically - mandated life for one year highlight the dangers lurking in Biblical literalism. He emphasizes the need to respond to sacred scripture with a critical eye, championing "cafeteria religion" despite the disapproval of fundamentalists.

    Fun, interesting, humorous, yet also insightful and reflective. Give this very short speech an attentive ear.
