    That IS a good question. I think @ashira put it very well. Historical accuracy is always in the forefront, and should also be countered with biblical truth. Sometimes I write as though I assume the reader will understand the historical context of the situation. Conversely, I do sometimes struggle with showing what’s common for the time period with out over explaining. I’m finding sometimes both ways are necessary…there are times to elaborate, and times to leave it in the reader’s hands. But I do NOT feel I should ever shy away from a controversial subject if its historical accuracy is integral to my story.
