1 Citation Examples for Theological Works Prepared by Chuck Harris Providence University College and Theological Seminary Library Otterburne, MB Fall 03 Many works in Christian theology are unique or challenging in the way they are cited, yet the various style manuals rarely provide the specific detail you need to cite clearly and accurately. The examples given below will help alleviate this difficulty by demonstrating how to construct the more common but challenging citations. The Bibliography... Footnote and In-Text Citations...

2 The Bibliography Because theological works now appear in many different editions and translations descended from the original work, or as a part of multivolume series, you will find that there are many specific details you need to include about the source you are using in order to give proper credit. These are details such as the author, editor, translator, publisher, edition, date of publication, volume number, etc. Even though many of these details can often be omitted from the footnote or in-text citations, they must be included in the bibliography. Be as specific and detailed as your citation style allows. You will see specific examples below of bibliographic entries for the different works to help guide you regarding your bibliographic entries. Footnote and In-Text Citations Usually, in the footnote/in-text citations of theological works you need only cite the original author and title of the work to which you are referring as well as the locating information specific to your reference (e.g., the paragraph number or page number). While normally SBL and Turabian footnote styles require the first reference to a work to include all the publication details, it is permissible to omit such detail in the initial references for some well-known works. However, if the edition/translation of the work has some relevance to the content of your research, then you should include a full first citation as required by the appropriate style guidelines. Or, in a larger project like a thesis or dissertation, you may prefer a fuller first citation. For SBL or Turabian, your first reference to a work should include the full name of the author and the full title, followed by the locating information. Subsequent references need only include the last name of the author and an abbreviated title as per accepted standards (see SBL Handbook of Style, 8.3 or Appendix H for a thorough list of abbreviations for primary and ancient sources). MLA (as well as the parenthetical style of Turabian) allows for such abbreviations immediately. For a thesis or dissertation you should keep a record of all the abbreviations that you use and include this in a table of abbreviations in the front matter of your project. One of the most notable differences between citing some of the classic works and citing the more typical books and articles is the use of book, chapter, and section numbers as locating information rather than page numbers. This is because different editions of the same work will space out the content differently over a span of pages. Citing by section or paragraph numbers allows a reader of your research to follow your citation even if they are using a different edition with different page numbers. There is some variation in the accepted styles for citing theological texts, but the examples below will help you understand the logic behind these citations. Providence Library Citation Examples

3 John Calvin, The Institutes of the Christian Religion Summary The Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin consists of four Books which are divided into chapters. These chapters are further divided into sections. Any particular translation or edition of the work can divide The Institutes differently into volumes or choose to abridge the content, but the book, chapter, and section numbers will remain the same across all editions. Use the bibliography to cite the information pertaining to the edition, translation, number of volumes, and publisher. This is similar to the way you would cite any other book in your bibliography. In the in-text/footnote citations you will need to indicate the author, title of the work (abbreviated), book, chapter, and section. You will do this instead of citing the page number. Depending on the formatting style you are using, your citation should be similar to this: Book Chapter Section Calvin, Instit..4.7 *Remember that the book number is not the same as the volume number. The volume number can vary from one edition/translation to the next, but the book number will be consistent across all editions/translations.

Internet resource. 8 Oct. 03. < Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiæ Summary Summa Theologiæ by Thomas Aquinas is divided into three different parts which are divided into questions which are further divided into articles. Any particular translation or edition can divide Summa Theologiæ differently into volumes or choose to abridge the content. Use the bibliography to cite the information pertaining to the edition, translation, number of volumes, and publisher. This is similar to the way you would cite any other book in your bibliography. You may also prefer to cite a single volume rather than an entire multivolume set. Do this if only one volume was used in your research. If you used multiple volumes then you should cite the entire set in your bibliography. In the in-text/footnote citations you will need to indicate the author, title of the work (abbreviated), part number, question number, and article number. You will do this instead of citing the page number. The part numbers can be abbreviated according to one of these two styles: 4 Providence Library Citation Examples

Internet resource. 8 Oct. 03. < Church Fathers Summary Most often when citing the Church Fathers you will be citing from either The Ante-Nicene Fathers (ANF) or The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers (first or second series; NPNF or ). Use the bibliography to indicate which series you are using in addition to the original author and title of the work. Alternatively, SBL prefers that you cite only the series in your bibliography (rather than the specific work of the church father), though, if it is relevant, you can choose to cite the specific work within the series. The footnote/in-text citations should include the author (if possible), the title of the writing, and, as applicable, the book, chapter/letter number, and section number. You may also choose to include the series, volume number, and page number in parentheses. Citing the page number in this way may be helpful if the chapters are long and the paragraphs are not enumerated. You should also use Arabic numerals rather than Roman numerals even if Roman numerals are used in the edition you are citing. Your footnote/in-text citations should be similar to these: Book Chapter Paragraph Augustin, Conf. 5.. Lecture Cyril, Catechetical Lectures 7.7 Paragraph If you choose to include the series, volume number, and page number, your citations should appear similar to the following examples: 6 Providence Library Citation Examples

7 Series Volume Page Number(s) Augustin, Conf. 5.. (NPNF :87). Cyril, Catechetical Lectures 7.7 (NPNF 7:5-6). You may cite the Church Fathers using different sources than ANF or NPNF or, but your citations should still remain similar to the examples given above. Remember to make adjustments for the unique qualities of the work you are using and to include the appropriate source details in your bibliography. *Names like Augustin can have alternative spellings (like Augustine). Your citations should match the spellings of names as they appear in the work you are citing. SBL Augustin, The Confessions of St. Augustin 5...

Philip Schaff, ed. 4 vols Ecumenical Decrees Summary The ecumenical decrees are collected from twenty-one councils, starting with Nicaea I in 35 and ending with Vatican II in 965. Use the bibliography to cite the information pertaining to the edition, translation, and publisher of the work you are using. This is similar to the way you would cite any other book in your bibliography. Depending on the breadth of your research and citations, you should cite the work in your bibliography in one of the following ways: If you are citing only one decree from an edited work, cite the decree specifically in your bibliography. Similarly, you may also choose to specifically cite a session. 8 Providence Library Citation Examples

9 If you are citing multiple decrees from one council, then you only need to cite the council in your bibliography. If you are citing from multiple councils of one edited work, then you need to cite the edited work in your bibliography rather than each council. When you cite the title of a decree you can choose to include both the Latin and English titles or just one form of the title. Your choice should accurately represent the work you are citing (i.e., if the work only gives the English title, you should not include the Latin title in your citation) as well as the language you are citing from (i.e., if you quote an English translation, do not include only the Latin title in your citation). Latin decree titles should be italicized but English ones should not. In the footnote/in-text citations you will need to indicate the council, session, date, decree title, chapter number (if applicable), and appropriate detail on the specific edition you are citing, including the page number(s). In you initial references you can also choose to include both the Latin and English decree titles or just one form of the title. Subsequent references should only use one of the titles. If you use only a Latin title, abbreviate chapter as cap., otherwise abbreviate it as ch. (SBL, MLA) or chap. (Turabian, MLA). There is some flexibility in the appearance of citations for decrees, but, in general, they should appear similar to this: Council Session Date of Session Title of Decree Council of Trent, Session 4, November 563, Canons of the reform of marriage, ch. 6, :758 Chapter within Decree Volume and Page Number of Source If your bibliographic entry is a collected work (rather than specifically the decree, session, or council), then your citation will need to include enough information to link the citation to the bibliographic entry. For example, include the editor and abbreviated title of the work: Council of Trent, Session 4, November 563, Canons of the reform of marriage, ch. 6: Tanner, Decrees, :758 Editor Title If you are citing from an online source where the council is a standalone work, then you can do without any information pertaining to the edition (though this information is still important in the bibliography). For example: Council of Trent, Session 4, November 563, Canons of the reform of marriage, ch. 6 Fall 03 9

10 In MLA you can shorten your in-text citation as much as necessary, making sure to include the most essential information as well as enough information to link the citation to the entry in the bibliography.

Use the bibliography to cite the information pertaining to the edition, translation, and publisher. This is similar to the way you would cite any other book in your bibliography. You should also cite either the individual volume you are using (if you are using only one) or the entire set (if you are using multiple volumes). In the in-text/footnote citations you will need to indicate the author, title of the work (abbreviated), volume, part, section, and sub-section. You can also choose to include the page number(s). The volume number should be indicated in Roman numerals while all other numbers should be in Arabic numerals. Depending on the formatting style you are using, your citation should be similar to this: Providence Library Citation Examples

13 Volume Part Section Sub-section Barth, CD IV/, 65. If you include the page number it should look like this: Barth, CD IV/, 65., 38 Volume IV, Part 3 has two halves. While the specific half you use need not be indicated because the pagination is continuous from the first half into the second half, you can choose to indicate the half you are using like this: Half Barth, CD IV/3., 7.

Commentaries In general, commentaries should be cited like any other book, however citing commentaries can be difficult because of the common inclusion of a series title and volume number. This information should be included in the bibliographic entry, and in SBL and Turabian, it should be included in the initial footnote reference. Abbreviation of the series title is permissible and even preferred in SBL footnotes (see SBL Handbook of Style 8.4. and 8.4. for accepted abbreviations). It is not necessary to include the editor of a commentary series. *The series title should not be confused with the title of the book. Also, one should note that there is a difference between a series and a multivolume work. Commentaries are typically parts of series, not multivolume works (though it is possible to have a multivolume set within a series). SBL Jacob M.

Dictionary and Encyclopedia Articles Dictionary and encyclopedia articles are typically longer, defining or descriptive entries within edited works. Each entry usually has its own author. As such, the article should be cited directly rather than the work as a whole. The author(s) of the article is typically listed at the end of the article. Sometimes only the initials are given. In this case the full name can be determined by looking at a list of contributors (usually in the front matter of the volume, or in the first volume of a multivolume set). In SBL the title of the dictionary/encyclopedia may be abbreviated in the initial footnote. SBL Nikolaus Thon, Modern Church History, The Encyclopedia of Christianity 3:589.

When citing an e-book be sure to cite the format of the e-book in your bibliography (e.g., CD-ROM, Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, Kobo, ibooks, etc.). Your entry should look similar to this: Luther, Martin. Commentary on Galatians. Oxford: Acheron Press, 0. Amazon Kindle e-book. In footnote/in-text citations you do not need to include any indication of the work being an e- book. Here you can cite the work as you would any other book. However, be wary of location numbers provided by an e-reader device. These location numbers may not be consistent with other formats of the book. For example, the Amazon Kindle uses location numbers, but these numbers can vary depending on simple changes such as font and display. In general, location numbers should not be used in citations as a replacement for page numbers. If the page numbers are available, cite them. If not, cite the chapter and paragraph number (you most likely will have to manually count them). For example (in Turabian):, para..
