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 44 (Exodus 13-15): Now that the Exodus has begun, Yahweh is ready to perform one of the most spectacular miracles of the Old Testament: the parting of the Red Sea. The Angel of Yahweh, who was leading the Israelites out of Egypt, wanted to set up a dramatic confrontation between the fleeing Israelites and the armies of Pharaoh, by taking them directly into a dead-end, where all hope would seem lost.
