Christopher Hill, the well known left-leaning British historian, wrote a book called "The World Turned Upside Down: Radical Ideas during the English Revolution." When I read it I was struck with the diversity of things people could pull out of the same Bible. King Charles looked in it and saw The Divine Right of Kings. The Puritans looked in it and saw most people damned to hell, for all were sinners and few were saved. George Fox looked in it and realized that people can live lives free of sin, he founded the Quakers to spread this idea. Winstantley, leader of the Diggers, looked in it and saw a justification for Socialism, he said that when Eve first bit into the apple the idea of Property came into her head, and this was the downfall of Man and the cause of all sin.
The book covers many other thinkers from the 1640s, I cannot summarize them all now. But that book, more than any other I've read, makes you realize how people can read the same text and draw from it radically different conclusions.
