The SBL Handbook of Style has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest practices among scholars, editors, and publishers as well as to take into account current trends in scholarly publishing. This edition has been meticulously supplemented with important new subject matter that fills gaps in the first edition. Chapters and sections have been reorganized and restructured to be more intuitive and logical.
This reference work is an index of journal and series titles and their standardized abbreviations. Many of the abbreviations used in SBL citations follow those listed in this guide. (You do not need to know German to use the guide!)
