How to Cite the Bible, Textbook, and Topic Overview Dr. Jeff JIbben Reference and citation format is very important. Properly done, your citation and reference will tell the reader not only that the writer used a source, but which exact source, where in the source the information can be found, and the quality of a source. GCU uses APA7 style for all 100-400 level courses. So how does one cite the Bible, textbook, and Topic Overview? Citing the Bible: The in-text citation for the Bible is sure to contain the Bible passage, and if quoting, the version of the Bible that is being quoted. Quoting: 1) When quoting, the citation includes The Bible and version (Italicized), then copyright date, then the passage: “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and you hearers” (The Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011, 1 Tim 4:16). If you use the passage in the introduction, you do not need to include it in the citation: In 1 Tim 4:16, it states, “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and you hearers” (The Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011). Note: If the Bible you use has a print date or website date that is different from the copyright date, the citation changes. In-text, the copyright date goes first, then the print date. In the Reference list, the print date goes first. Here is the example with the in-text citation. Format: (The Holy Bible, Version, Published Year/Reprint Year, Passage), Example: "Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers" (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version, 2001/2016, 1 Tim 4:16). Paraphrasing: When paraphrasing or summarizing a passage from the Bible, but not quoting it, do not include the version: We ought to inspect carefully our beliefs and how we live them (1 Tim 4:16). Or 1 Tim 4:16 says, we ought to inspect carefully our beliefs and how we live them. In-Text Citations for Other Sources for the Class: In-Text Citation of the Topic Overview: (Grand Canyon University, 2020, What is a Worldview? Section, para. 3). Notice that this citation is pointing the reader to the 3rd paragraph of the "What is a Worldview?" section Since our textbook is an eBook without page numbers and also has many authors, cite the chapter author, the section where the information can be found, and the paragraph. Here is an examples for Chapters 1: (Waddell & Jibben, 2020, What in the World is Worldview? Section, para. 4) Here is an example for Chapter 2: (Hiles & Smith, 2020, Elements of worldview Section, para. 6).

When citing a source within a source: When citing a source cited in the textbook, please do not cite the original book in the reference list. APA7 style is to mention the author and then use “as cited as” in your citation and then list the textbook in the reference list. Example: Worldview a “conceptual framework” (Nash, as cited in Waddell & Jibben, 2020, What in the World is Worldview? Section, para. 4). Here is what a reference list would look like: References: Grand Canyon University. (2020a). CWV-101 topic 1 overview [Class document].

I included examples for chapters 1 and 2. NOTE: When using more than one source by the same author with the same publication date, distinguish between the two with small case letters after the date. The above example does that with the Topic 1 Overview and Topic 2 overview. This course requires the use of a Bible. Students are strongly encouraged to use one of the following versions: the English Standard Version (ESV), the New International Version (NIV), or the New American Standard Bible (NASB). Each of these versions is available in print. These versions are also available for free at www.BibleGateway.com. Students might also find it helpful to choose a Study Bible such as the Life Application Study Bible NIV or the ESV Study Bible in order to take advantage of additional helpful information.
