"Theology of curiosity" makes me think immediately of the "Diamond Approach" developed by Hameed Ali, aka "A. H. Almaas." The central practice is "Inquiry," which (as I understand it) means approaching all of one's experience with a kind of open-minded curiosity. I tried reading some of Almaas's books but they were a bit more, uh, "woo-woo" than I was entirely comfortable with ... But there is a practice that comes from this tradition called "repeating questions" which I participated in at a workshop and it was astonishingly effective for resolving emotional issues. That was how I heard about the Diamond Approach. Anyway, just wanted to share in case anyone is ... intrigued (-; and wants to learn more.
