Recently I've been trying to expand my reading of Christian theology to ensure that I move outside of that which i am traditionally use to (conservative evangelical.) It's interesting trying to think what sort of bias what we read has, and how this effects what we think of as "fact". This was re-enforced to me when I visited Hampden, last week. It is the Scottish national football ground, and from the museum you would think that Scotland, was the greatest team in the world, and definitely always beat England. There was nothing wrong with the facts that they were presenting, they were just selective in what facts they present. This is often true in our reading, and while something that I knew, it has been re-enforced to me in a new way to help me think more when I am reading.
