Most people already have a particular hypothesis that they are seeking to verify or promote, and they look for "evidence" that they feel does that. For example, when Mark records that Pilate was unbelieving to the death of Jesus, what might that suggest to us concerning both the type of scourging he actually received prior to the crucifixion and to the possibility that Jesus did not die on the cross as most believe. Mind you, I'm not here taking any position, I am simply reading the document and wondering how it might help to fill in any holes or questions we might have concerning what actually happened historically. We would all do well just to read the documents without passion or prejudice.
