Where is the liberalism in AYBD?

DAL

I've read and heard some say that the Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary is liberal (at least in some entries).  Can anyone give an example where the liberalism may be found.  Or is it just called liberal because sometimes it gives you different views on certain topics? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

"Liberal" is a relative term. AYBD has a reputation in some quarters as being "liberal" though many conservative scholars use it heavily and trust it. Some say a better description of it would be "critical-scholarly" rather than "liberal" though in some people's minds those two are roughly equivalent.

Here is one example that might be perceived as "liberal" by some people, from the article on the Gospel of Mark: "although tradition assigns the authorship to a man, there is no inherent reason why, given the gospel’s own anonymity, it could not have been written by a woman"
