Do not italicize or use quotation marks in your paper when referring to a generic religious text. These terms appear without italics or quotation marks when referred to in your paper: Bible, Old Testament, Genesis, Gospels, Talmud, Qur'an (Koran), Upanishads.

Footnotes and Endnotes: The first time you reference a version of the Bible, give the book (abbreviated), chapter, and verse, followed by the name of the edition (not italicized) in parentheses: 1 1 Thess. (New Revised Standard Version).
Citing Religious Texts Parenthetical or note references to the Bible should include book (in roman and usually abbreviated), chapter, and verse—never a page number. A colon is used between chapter and verse. Note that the traditional abbreviations use periods but the shorter forms do not.
Parenthetical Citations: The first time you reference a version of the Bible, in the in-text citations, give the name of the edition (italicized), followed by a comma and the abbreviated book (see back of handout), chapter, and verse. Use a period, not a colon, between the chapter and verse: John 3.16.
Church membership is implied in the biblical requirement of all Christians to be submitted to a group of church leaders, elders, or pastors. The New Testament commands individuals to submit to a specific group of leaders.
