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.
DAY 22 (Genesis 32-35): Jacob's impending reunion with his estranged brother Esau understandably makes him nervous, because Esau had vowed to murder Jacob upon the death of their father Isaac. Yahweh had promised to bless Jacob even as far back as the womb, but Jacob still wrestles with his faith -- quite literally -- even to the point of physically assaulting God Himself. Yes, you heard me correctly.
