Turabian Samples
Index
There are two styles of
Chicago/Turabian
(also called Society
for Biblical Literature or SBL) formatting. For Biblical
Studies cources Liberty prefers the Notes/Bibliography style,
which has you place a footnote at the bottom of each page where
a resource is quoted or paraphrased (NOT end-notes), and
then have an alphabetically organized bibliography at the end of
your paper. The Notes/Bibliography style is found in
chapters 16 and 17 of the Turabian
Manual, and is also called Chicago/Turabian: Humanities
style by some databases (such as Ebsco) that provide suggested
citations. Whenever you use suggested citations from a
database, be sure to check that they are properly capitalized,
italicized, Times New Roman 12 point (NOT
Arial), etc.
The other
Chicago/Turabian Author/Date style is much more like APA
formatting and looks like this (Smith 1980, 34). Do not use this style for Liberty
papers in this class. Examples for this style are found in
chapters 18 and 19 of the Turabian
Manual. This style uses parenthetical "in-text"
citations style and has a reference list at the end of
the paper.
