Submission Guidelines
Suggested length of articles is 6,000–7,000 words, including endnotes. Suggested length of notes is up to 5,000 words, including endnotes. The typescript should be double-spaced throughout, including offset quotations and endnotes, in 12 point type. Quotation marks should be double, single for quotes in quotes: for example, “xxxx ‘yyyy’ xxxxx.” We use US spelling and punctuation. All submissions should be formatted according to the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style.
Bibliographic documentation
All bibliographic documentation should be cited according to the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. To give some of the most important examples: use endnotes, not footnotes or parenthetical citation (but see below for some exceptions); italicize titles of published works, not underline them; and use arabic numerals, not roman (e.g. 5.2.15–20 for lines 15–20 that appear in act 5, scene 2). Endnote citation should include all of the necessary bibliographic information. Second and subsequent citations of the same work should appear in short form. Some common examples are provided below.

Frequent reference to a single source
If your paper uses frequent quotations from a single source, it usually makes sense to cite them in text parenthetically. The full citation should be given in an endnote at first mention, followed by such wording as “hereafter cited in text.”
Scripture references
Usually cited in text, e.g. (Gen 25:19-36:43), (Heb 13:8), (Mt 26:2–5)
