WHO WROTE THIS AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE
HOW DID BIAS OR AGENDA SHAPE WHAT HE WROTE?
READ IT LIKE A POLITICIAN’S SPEECH – AUTHOR TRYING TO MAKE SOMEONE LOOK BAD AND SOMEONE LOOK GOOD.
WHO OR WHAT IS MADE TO LOOK OFFENSIVE OR INADEQUATE.
HOW FAITHFULLY WAS THE STORY PASSED ON IN THOSE HUNDRED YEARS? MIGHT IT HAVE GROWN IN THE TELLING?
WHO WANTED READERS TO SEE THE BEAUTY OF THE ORTHODOX LITURGY AND WHY?
WHAT WAS THE AUTHOR TRYING TO JUSTIFY OR DEFEND?
WHAT ALTERNATIVE, VIEWS WERE BEING DISREGARDED, SILENCED AND EXCLUDED?
HOW CAN THE ARGUMENT BE READ AS AN ARGUMENT THAT THE TSAR’S ANCESTORS MADE THE RIGHT DECISION, AND HOW THEY OUGHT TO STICK WITH IT?
