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.
Inquire Honestly
No question is off-limits: including the uncomfortable ones.
Engage the Sources
Follow the evidence wherever it leads
Listen Generously
We disagree with care, not contempt.
