Synopsis

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.

Interesting Mix Of Rachel Held Evans And Max Lucado. This book is perfect for fans of the late Rachel Held Evans who miss her type of voice and are looking for someone who can write in that type of mindset. Better, for those who disagreed with Evans' more liberal positions, is that Wilbert doesn't e......more

Goodreads review by Traci on July 13, 2022

I'm a huge fan of asking questions. I love, love curiosity. My dream for this delightful new book from Lore is that we form small groups, as diverse as you dare, and take one question at a time. They're all from scripture, so call it a Bible study if you will. But you can't stay shallow. Not with th......more

Goodreads review by Kelsie on July 26, 2022

Reading this book felt like taking a deep breath. It was both soothing and firm, a gentle and constructive prompting to ask questions because hope is found in the curiosity. I needed the hope Lore seems to promise comes with doubt, and in this book she maps out how questions and curiosity are both n......more

Goodreads review by Erica on March 29, 2025

This book wrecked me in the very best way. I have never felt more seen or known by a book. As a Jesus follower who has wrestled for the majority of my Christian life with big, hard, often wearisome doubts and questions, this book made me feel so safe and seen and not so alone. And made me think of t......more
