Jacob's Oath

Type: Oath
Jacob's Oath is actually a new thing among the younger Adepts started by the book 'The Year of Living Biblically' by A.J. Jacobs (the name of the Oath isn't about the Biblical patriarch, it's a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the book's author). Those who take the Oath must attempt to spend a prolonged amount of time (few Adepts actually manage an entire year, usually it's a few weeks or months) trying to take the Bible as literally as possible.
