If Jewish or secular histories say something extra-biblical, Protestants have a tendency to believe them to be true. If an extra-biblical history is passed down within the Christian Church, Protestants have the default setting of believing it to be false

Or, as Cardinal Newman observed, to be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.

HA! :) Cardinal Newman was a convert. He had a reason to say such things, as he was a Protestant until his mid 40's (I think). I'm sure that many of the heavyweights on all sides who have switched have done the same.
