The Encyclopedia of Christian Civilization that Wiley-Blackwell approved to print is, on second thought, “too Christian,” according to Edward Feser’s report at National Review Online. After receiving outside pressure, they took sudden action to “postpone publication, recall all copies already distributed, and destroy the existing print run.” Feser says the “work was deemed too theologically conservative and orthodox” for the publisher’s comfort and that the book’s critics want words like Resurrection and Evangelism deleted from the publication; they “also want the insertion of material denigrating Christianity in some form or fashion.”
Stopping the print run is a pretty expensive ordeal—and, from what I gather, it’s one that will prove hardly worthwhile.
