Our Mission

The Curious Christian exists to take faith seriously enough to ask hard questions about it. We engage the history of Christianity, the text of the Bible, and the claims made about Jesus, by believers and skeptics alike, through the lens of mainstream scholarship, primary sources, and careful reasoning.

Curiosity is not the enemy of faith. It’s how faith grows up.

About the Author

Who’s Behind The Curious Christian?

Hi, I’m Dustin; the writer, researcher, and stubborn questioner behind this site.

I started The Curious Christian because I kept running into two kinds of conversations about Christianity: the ones that demanded blind certainty, and the ones that dismissed the faith without ever engaging the evidence. Neither felt honest.

So this site is the third option; a place where the history of Christianity gets taken seriously, where mainstream scholarship gets a fair hearing, and where readers are trusted to think for themselves.
