I took a Bible as literature class last year and I have to say, I was not impressed by my teacher's going on about how good a historically accurate source the Bible was.
I myself am not a Christian, but instead consider myself Gnostic (meaning "seeking truth"  )My question is, since the bible is so religiously biased, what do you guys think on the issue of using the bible as a historical document to find information? |

I am a Christian. And I use the Bible oftentimes, but only for certain historical purposes. And not because it isn't accurate. Though I do use the Bible from time to time to learn about religion and history combined, but not all aspects of history are connected to religion. And therefore I can see why you might say that the Bible is not a useful historical text.
