He agreed that each was being faithful in a specific way "and both ecumenics and biblical studies should make us aware that there are other ways of being faithful to which we do not do justice.... In short, a frank study of NT ecclesiologies should convince every Christian community that it is neglecting part of the NT witness." (1) His conclusion was "that in a divided Christianity, instead of reading the Bible to assure ourselves that we are right, we would do better to read it to discover where we have not been listening." (2) Brown's conclusion can be applied to the study of Christian history as well. There is always more to every historical occurrence than any one study can communicate. History is like a prism with multiple facets, each of which refracts light a slightly different way. The temptation is to study only the facets that refract the light the way we want it to be refracted, that is, studying history "to assure ourselves that we are right." However, the other facets that refract the light differently are also necessary "to discover where we have not been listening." History is not a static subject with only one interpretation. The passage of time is a significant contributor to different interpretations of the same historical event. Hence, the study of history is ambiguous, "having more than one possible meaning or interpretation." (3) The adoption by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) of the Baptist Faith and Message (BFM) in 1925 is an event that illustrates this point.
