Publisher's summary

God created us curious. We innately wonder about the world, one another, ourselves, and God. But technology, fear of the unknown, cultural taboos, or even church leaders can smother our curiosity.

Popular writer Lore Ferguson Wilbert has belonged to Christian communities that discouraged curiosity. The point of the Christian life was to have the right answers, and asking questions reflected a wavering faith. But Wilbert came to discover that the Bible is a permission slip to anyone who wants to ask questions.

Reflecting her own theological trajectory toward a more contemplative, expansive faith, Wilbert invites listeners to foster curiosity as a spiritual habit. This book explores questions God asks us, questions we ask God, and questions we ask each other. Christianity is not about knowing good answers, says Wilbert, but about asking good questions—ones that foster deeper intimacy with God and others.

A Curious Faith invites listeners to go beyond pat answers and embrace curiosity, rather than certainty, as a hallmark of authentic faith. Foreword by Seth Haines.

So refreshing and thought provoking

I’m so thankful for the breath of fresh air that is this book. Lore challenges the view that questioning God means a lack of faith. She encourages us to continue asking the hard questions. She shares scripture that gives life and humanity to faith. Her words are beautifully written with vulnerability and honesty. I recommend this book to anyone, no matter what part of the journey of faith and questioning you’re on.

A treasure. A gift.

Such a sweet gift to have these treasured questions asked by a faithful co-pilgrim sister, Lore Ferguson Wilbert.

A young girls diary

I quit halfway through. The book feels more like the musings of a young girls diary than a useful theological work.

A Little More Faith than Questions

I really enjoy Lore’s perspective on a questioning faith. The lens she writes this book by — questions asked in the Bible — was refreshing. However, her faith seems to be fairly grounded and unquestioning about some of the more fundamental Christian beliefs, which left me feeling a little on the outside and having much more doubt than her. A good read, just not for me in the place I’m in right now. Her voice performance seemed authentic but was a bit whispery.
