The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to follow the Bible as Literally as Possible is a book by A. J. Jacobs, an editor at Esquire magazine, published in 2007.

The book describes a year that the author said he spent trying to follow all the rules and guidelines he could find in the Bible, which turned out to be more than 700.

In the book, Jacobs discusses biblical rules, both the obscure and the well-known, and tries to follow them as literally as possible.

He also goes to visit numerous religious groups in order to show their particular views on the Bible, as well as their methods of worship.
