Reading biographies

I am really bad at reading biographies.
The majority of biographies I have read have been of musicians.
In fact, I haven't read a single biography of any of my favourite Christian authors, and just realised this was a poor oversight.

The other day, I heard an interview between Mark Driscoll and Don Carson, and hearing that really put Carson's writing into a much more illuminated context for me.

And I realised that where we as Christians need to be discerning of what we read, and testing it against the Bible, we can have a better understanding of authors and their motivations if we read their biographies.

So, I'm gonna get stuck into some soon.
Wish I had realised this earlier.
