Usually we know where to look for answers. You know where to go for the weather forecast, and who to call when your car won’t start. If you need to find something more esoteric–who fought the War of the Spanish Succession, or what is the main export of Bangladesh–there’s always Wikipedia.

I am not talking about the unknowables–like where we go when we die. I mean more straightforward matters of doctrine or interpretation. There is no shortage of important questions about religion: what exactly is jihad, is yoga a Hindu practice, does Jesus really hate liberals, and so on. Lots of people will weigh in on these questions–but who should we actually believe?
