"While I believe it is worthwhile for people to read and understand history, our Lord Jesus warned us about following the tradition of men (vis-a-vis Pharisees). I can't recall any such warning about reading scripture, can you?"

I Cor. 4:6 "Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, "Do not go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over against another. "
It sure reads as though we should always search the WRITTEN WORD for the truth and not consider other sources as equal to the WRITTEN WORD (THE BIBLE).
BTW, I do agree it is always good to look at sources to understand the times at which events occurred, but I never consider those sources of information coequal the SCRIPTURES.
