08.1 Introduction
This guide concerns the correct way to quote other writers, to abbreviate, to use punctuation, and to construct footnotes and bibliographies.
The following style guide follows Billie Jean Collins, Bob Buller, and John F. Kutsko, The SBL Handbook of Style, 2nd ed. (Atlanta, GA.: SBL, 2014), hereafter abbreviated the SBL Handbook. The book is held in Reference in the Library. The SBL Handbook is a modified version of the Chicago-Turabian style, and a helpful resource, especially for electronic media, is “Chicago (17th ed.)/Turabian (9th ed.),” EasyBib, 2018, http://www.easybib.com/guides/citation-guides/chicago-turabian/ .
