 We'll spend this hour with writer A.J. Jacobs, who once spent a year trying his best to live according to the often contradictory and confusing mandates of the Bible. This time around, he decided to use the country's most venerated yet contentious document as his guide and was surprised to discover similar difficulties in divining the real, original meaning of the words that govern so much of our lives as Americans. Our conversation starts after a short break.
