I have recently read this book,

The Year of living Biblically.  by A.J. jacobs.

It's a book about a man who examines the bible, and tries to live it as literally as possible within New York city for a full year.

( over 100 versions of the bible including the idiots guide to the bible and a hip-hop version in chich Psalms 23rd reads 'the lord is all that' -I'm serious)

This book talks about many views on how to interpret the bibles scripture from various religious leaders and is loosely done.
