About

Bible Curious is an exploration into sacred scripture, driven by curiosity. The population of planet Earth is 33% Christian. It's 24% Muslim, and the Qur'an does acknowledge the Bible as Holy Scripture. Between these two faiths, that's over half of Earth's population. 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.

Dong and Johnson (pt 1)

EPISODE 19 (Guests: Nate J, Dong Y) - Before diving back into Genesis and the story of Abraham the Patriarch, I want to share a recent conversation I had with a Christian Chinese American named Dong, introduced to me by my good friend Nathan Johnson, whom I have known since my college years at UCLA. Dong grew up with an as an athiest in communist China but found in the Christian lifestyle a practical way to bring harmony to his family, regardless of his personal beliefs. In the following conversation, Dong shares his experience transitioning from atheism to Christianity, a journey also driven by curiosity and a search for truth. The three of us also take some time to reflect upon the first season of Bible Curious, and to take a look at some of its unanswered questions.
