EPISODE 2 (Guest: Tom F)- This is part one of an interview with my friend Tom F, who wanted to have a conversation with me about why I decided to take on this project. In this segment, we cover a number of topics, including my own motivations for doing this project, how can a person with a rational, scientific mindset take the Bible seriously, where did these stories come from, and who is God? So without any further preamble, let's dive right in.

Why So Curious? (part 1)

New Listeners, start here: <a href="https://www.biblecurious.org/26">The Birth of Jesus</a>.Bible Curious is an exploration into sacred scripture, driven by curiosity.

If I was an alien coming to this planet for the first time, and I wanted to play a game of "Take Me To Your Leader," it wouldn't take long before I found this book in my hands. If I want to understand this planet, planet Earth, I need to know what's in this text. To ignore it, or to dismiss it casually, is to cast aside the very underpinnings of western civilization, which is the dominant culture of this planet. I mean, aren't you at least curious about what it actually says? I know I am.
