For books the preferred style is shown in the following examples: John Howard Yoder, The Politics of Jesus, 2nd ed. (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1994), 30.

D. N. Beach, “The Initial Impact of Christianity on the Shona: The Protestants and the Southern Shona”, in Christianity South of the Zambezi, Vol. 1, edited by A. J. Dachs (Gwelo: Mambo Press, 1973), 28-39.

Other important guidelines• Do not use p. and pp. with page numbers but use numbers only, both in the text and in footnotes.• Inclusive numbers should follow these patterns: 45-48; 125-35; 101-8; 100-102; 1285-90. (Note that

we use hyphens, not em-dashes)• “F.” and “ff.” should be avoided; use actual page numbers wherever possible.• [URLs: are underlined & placed in angle brackets; date of access in brackets is required at the end.]• In order to avoid an excessive number of footnotes, it is generally best to cite Scripture references

parenthetically in the text rather than in footnotes.• In general, please lowercase such words as biblical, scriptural, gospel (except when the reference is

to one of the four Gospels), pronouns for God and for Jesus, creation, fall, revelation, resurrection, etc.• The source should be noted for every quotation. Except in epigraphs, the source information should

include full publication information.• Any quotation that is more than five or six lines long should be set off from the text as a block

quotation. Very brief quotations should generally not be set off as block quotations, except for emphasis.

• All headings and main subheadings should be entered in First Letter Caps (except: an, and, the, for, with, or, etc.), in bold, without other special formatting.

• Gender-Specific Language should not be used. Instead of ‘man’ or ‘mankind’ please use ‘humans’, “humanity’ or ‘people’. With pronouns, please use the plural as much as possible - eg “they” instead of “he”.

• We suggest you use a Bible that uses non gender specific language unless you are using a particular version of the Bible as part of your research.

• If possible avoid gender specific language in regard to God. Try to use the possessive “God’s” rather than “His””

• Either US or UK spelling is acceptable, but only one should be used, consistently.• Usetheadverbs“first”and“second”tointroduceaseries,not“firstly,”“secondly,”etc.• The names of centuries should be spelled out: e.g., the nineteenth century, not the 19th century.
