Copyright Assignment

Please note that an article cannot and will not be published in the journal unless a signed copyright form is received by the due date. Also, please note that contributors will be able to republish Dialog articles in books of their own authorship without Wiley-Blackwell permission.
Abstracts and Key terms
Due to the growing number of people using the online version of Dialog, and due to the growing amount of Dialog articles available on-line, we ask that you write a 75 word Abstract for your article. Likewise, we ask that you create 5 or 6 key terms by which would-be interested readers can find your article by performing a web search. The abstract should appear before your article and key terms should follow. For Example:
Abstract: This document contains the information that Dialog contributors will need in order to prepare their articles in such a way as to minimize distress for the Managing Editor.
Key terms: Author Instructions; Length; Transliterations; Footnotes; Copyright; Formatting
Textual Matters
Transliterations must be used for Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, etc. Include accents only where absolutely necessary. Conform transliterations to the style used by the Journal of Biblical Literature or the SBL Member's Handbook. When any foreign language is used, provide English translation set within parentheses after the foreign word or clause, except for commonly known words. Italicize all foreign words or phrases.
Our editorial policy is to use minimal capitalization. A few paradigms follow: Church, Christian church, Lutheran Church Bible, biblical Scripture(s), scriptural Eucharist, Eucharistic, Eucharistic Prayer Word of God, kingdom of God Word and Sacrament, Word and sacraments, sacramental Gospel of Matthew, gospel (as message) Messiah, messianic
Use commas sparingly in general, but do use them throughout a series, e.g., 'faith, hope, and love.'
Documentation
Where abbreviation is appropriate, use the standard abbreviations for books of the Bible and other ancient documents as specified by SBL. If these are not available to you, write out full titles and the editors will abbreviate. Please do not abbreviate titles of journals or books in your text or notes; rather, provide full titles.
