The SBL Handbook of Style (SBLHS), now in its 2nd edition, provides specialized terminology and examples for biblical studies and ancillary disciplines that go beyond the rules found in The Chicago Manual of Style. Footnotes also allow for explanatory comments or tangents which would otherwise be unacceptable within the main text of the paper. Using a footnote style has many advantages when writing academic papers notably, it won't clutter up the main text of your paper with many parenthetical citations thus making for smoother reading. However, in disciplines like history, theology, and biblical studies, Chicago's footnote style is preferred for research papers. SBL style follows Chicago almost exactly. Chicago's in-text style is called "author-date" citation. Chicago style has a "footnote" style as well as an "in-text" style like APA or MLA. The SBL style, like Turabian, is a substantial supplement to The Chicago Manual of Style (now in its 17th edition). Many professors at Northwestern in biblical and theological studies prefer the use of SBL style. Professors may require a certain style or allow you to use whatever style you prefer. Make no mistake, the readers (usually your professors) really appreciate that you use a style accurately and consistently, whether it be APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, SBL, or some other style.
Style manuals regulate the format of research papers by standardizing their structural, grammatical, and bibliographic aspects for consistency so that readers may understand and locate the information they contain. The SBL Handbook of Style (SBLHS) is a style manual (like APA or MLA) for biblical studies and related disciplines.
