size 12 font or a similar serif or sans-serif font. Set the tab to indent ½” and double space the

body of the text. The margins for the paper are 1” all around, but the first page of the paper

should have a dropped heading at the 2” mark. Subsequent pages should not be dropped except

in papers with chapter style headings to mark new sections of content.

Level 4 Subheading

Select “Normal” in Styles to enter your Level 4 Subheading. It is left justified, headline

style, regular text. After entering your title, hit the tab button to start your paragraph with a ½”

indent and continue writing in “Normal” text for the body of the paragraph. Starting with the

second page, the page number is placed in the top right corner.

Footnotes and Bibliography

Footnotes are indented ½” and single spaced with one blank line space between each

note. A footnote directing you to the citation guidelines in The SBL Handbook of Style is here as

an example.1 The second example is the chapter on footnotes in the Chicago Manual of Style.2

Finally, Kate Turabian’s chapter on citations from A Manual for Writers of Research Papers,

Theses, and Dissertations is included as well.3 Quoted material of five lines or more is formatted

as a left justified block quotation with an indentation of ½”. For all formatting issues not

addressed in the PhD in Biblical Studies Style Guide, remember to first consult The SBL

Handbook of Style, followed by the Chicago Manual of Style or Kate Turabian’s manual.

Please also take note of the bibliography format. The capitalized, centered title begins at

the dropped 2” margin. After the title and a double-spaced line entry, the bibliography notes

begin at the far left margin. Subsequent lines are indented ½”. The entries are single-spaced with

one blank line space between each entry. The page number is centered at the bottom of the page.

This bibliography was created using the features in the References tab in Word. Minor changes

were made manually to match the formatting guidelines for SBL student research papers.
