Xlviii PREFACE Two centuries of scholarly research on historiography∗ and hermeneutics∗ have shown that historians cannot avoid cultural and religious preunderstandings in their studies. This means that no absolutely objective historical study is possible. Of course, accuracy about facts, events, dates, and the like is possible; the accuracy of factual information in the Dictionary has been confirmed by the best sources available and top scholars on each topic. But beyond the issue of accuracy, when preparing a report, a historian must make a choice between what is most significant, and should be included, and what is less significant, and could be omitted – an unavoidable choice for the historian, especially when composing a concise article, such as those in The Cambridge Dictionary of Christianity.
