Absolutely-all of it, not just the good or bad parts.
If skeptics could learn to separate out the who, what, when where and why of it all-then Christianity would look drastically different to them.
Ford automobiles are good cars. Some people use then to carry injured people to the hospital. Other people use them in bank robberies and kidnapings.
Its worth it to pay attention to "who" is doing what and "why". There are those who claim to be Christians who donate to the poor, work in soup kitchens at Christmas, who pay their own way to help those who have been in disasters. Then there are others who claim to be Christians who tell ignorant people what they want to hear for a price, who get caught up in sex scandals, and live lavish lifestyles directly from the offering plate.
Yes, we need to understand it all.

It's important to know it without, as much as is possible, the biases that are found in different historical accounts, and with a Biblical framework to see how people who claimed to be Christians either were, or were not, operating in time according to the commands give by God.
For instance, if you trace the history of the church in Rome and don't know when those who were in charge of the church were doing what the Bible commanded or were operating as mere men seeking to consolidate their power, you are going to get a skewed impression of the history of the church.

Very important, if the people who are filled with the spirit of the antichrist knew the history of Christianity they would not say most of the things they say. The problem is they have very little knowledge of it and little knowledge is a dangerous thing. In their case it is a stupid thing.

One of the basis of the Bible understanding is repetitive occurrence , paraphrase: "Nothing will be that has not been". Study of Biblical history is as up to date as the reading of the morning newspaper, and the solutions are just as current.

Depends on your position. If you want to remain a Christian, it's not a good idea to look too closely.

Of course, then you can decide if you want to be a Christian or not.
