About
The Bible

Asking questions is a wonderful way to learn. We raise questions with the goal of finding answers and growing in our understanding.

What questions do you have?

Please don’t be afraid to voice your questions about the Bible! No question is too silly, too small, or too scandalous.

If you haven’t read the Bible, then finding answers to your questions might give you the courage to start reading it. If you are familiar with the Bible, then being honest about your questions may deepen your understanding and your trust in God’s Word! And if you are skeptical about the Bible, then your quest for answers is intellectually honest, and therefore noble.

If your questions aren’t answered here, try the search bar. If we don’t seem to answer your question on the site, feel free to contact us.
