Incredible? No. Unfortunately, all too credible.

An academic publisher - and academic publishers are in my experience none too well financed - is willing to take a monstrous hit in their pocket rather than be found to be in any way sympathetic to Christianity: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/damian_thompson/blog/2009/02/11/encyclopedia_of_christian_civilization_pulped_for_being_too_christian

This is the world we live in. This is what they call toleration. I say it's about time to start hitting back by any means the law gives us. There are more of us than there are of them, and I want to know why we let them silence and persecute us.

That is an interesting and plausible case. It still suggests that the publisher had neither taken the notion of an Encyclopedia on Christian subjects with the seriousness it deserved, nor understood the kind of commitment any Encyclopedia project demands.
