Scripture

References to the Bible should include book (abbreviated), chapter and verse - never a page number. Traditionally a colon is used between chapter and verse:

 

  • Isaiah 4:5-6.
  • Ruth 1:22.
  • Luke 2:7-16.

 

Bible references are not usually included in your bibliography but if you do want to reference the Bible you have been using, then follow the rules for a book.

 

Treat references to the sacred and highly revered works of other religious traditions similarly to those of the Judeo-Christian tradition.
