David B. Currie was raised in a devout, Fundamentalist Christian family. His father was a pastor, and both parents were teachers at Moody Bible Institute, in Chicago, Illinois. As a child, Currie rubbed elbows with many of the leaders of the Fundamentalist movement. His childhood dream was to become a minister himself.

That dream was fulfilled after Currie studied at Trinity College and at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He became a Fundamentalist missionary, as did his wife, Colleen, and his primary responsibility was to train Evangelical college students in methods of college campus evangelization.

Although he had been active in the leadership of Fundamentalist and Evangelical churches throughout his life, Currie continued to investigate theological and biblical questions that he thought had no viable answer in any Protestant tradition. After an often painful search for the truth, he, Colleen, and their six children (they have since been blessed with two more) reluctantly found themselves knocking on the door of the Catholic Church, and all eight of them soon embraced the Catholic Faith.

As a lay apologist for his new Faith, Currie wrote the popular book Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic (Ignatius Press, 1996) and has written for Immaculata Magazine. Currie speaks about the Faith to Catholic groups and parishes and on retreats, and some of his talks, including “The Great Price of Truth,” “The Rapture Revealed,” “Wheat Among Thistles,” and “Rapture: Ruse or Reality?” are available on tape (St. Joseph Communications).
