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
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
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. 2.4.7

*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.

Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologi

Summary
Summa Theologi 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 Theologi 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.
(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:
Part Number
Part I
First part of Part II
Second part of Part II
Part III
Option 1
I
I-II
II-II
III
Option 2
Ia
Ia-II
IIa-II
IIIa
There is no uniform style for citing Summa Theologi, but the following is a proper example
of what is permissible:
Part
Question
Article
Aquinas, Sum Ia, Q. 2, Art. 2

*With Summa Theologi you should also pay close attention to the way the title is written on
the edition you are using. It may also be written as Summa Theologiae or Summa
Theologica. Your citations should match the edition you are using.

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; NPNF1 or 2).
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. 5.11.21

Lecture
Paragraph
Cyril, Catechetical Lectures 17.7

If you choose to include the series, volume number, and page number, your citations should
appear similar to the following examples:
Series
Volume
Page Number(s)
Augustin, Conf. 5.11.21 (NPNF1 1:87).

Cyril, Catechetical Lectures 17.7 (NPNF2 7:125-26).
You may cite the Church Fathers using different sources than ANF or NPNF1 or 2, 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.

Ecumenical Decrees
Summary
The ecumenical decrees are collected from twenty-one councils, starting with Nicaea I in 325
and ending with Vatican II in 1965.
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.
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 24, 11 November 1563, Canons of the reform of marriage,
ch. 6, 2:758
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:
ch. 6: Tanner, Decrees, 2:758
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:
ch. 6
Fall 2013
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.

Karl Barth, Church Dogmatics

Summary
Church Dogmatics by Karl Barth consists of four Volumes, but each volume actually has
multiple parts so that the original T&T Clark edition of Church Dogmatics consists of
thirteen bound volumes plus a separately bound index.
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).
(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:
12
Volume
Part
Section
Sub-section
Barth, CD IV/2, 65.1

If you include the page number it should look like this:
Barth, CD IV/2, 65.1, 382
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

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 8.4.1 and 8.4.2 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).

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.

The citations for e-books will be similar to the format required of regular books. 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, 2012. Amazon
Kindle e-book.
In footnote/in-text citations you do not need to include any indication of the work being an ebook. 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):
1
Martin Luther, Commentary on Galations (Oxford: Acheron Press, 2012), chap.

2, para. 2.
