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.

In the Beginning

DAY 13 (Genesis 1-4): The Book of Genesis is the first of five books credited to the prophet Moses which comprise the Torah, or 'Law' of the Hebrew Bible. Genesis describes the origins of the Israelites from the Creation until their settlement in Egypt, and covers about two thousand years of history. The first chapter of Genesis describes how God created the Heavens and the Earth over a span of six days. Obviously, this contradicts other, more naturalistic explanations, and that's on purpose. But before we get into that discussion, I invite you to simply follow along with your mind's eye, and allow the word of God to paint the universe into existence, the way an artist might use colored pigments to create a landscape.
