Although this handout focuses mainly on Citing the Bible and the Book of Mormon, the guidelines provided apply generally to religious works ( , the Qur an or Bhagavad Gita) with chapters and verses, or similar components, standardized across versions and translations. Other religious texts, such as the words of current religious leaders, are cited according to media type: book, magazine, website, etc. This handout is based on MLA Handbook (eighth edition), The Chicago Manual of Style (seventeenth edition) and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (sixth edition).
MLA Format (3.3.2 and 2.3) In-Text Citations (3.3.2): MLA in-text citations include the title of the sacred work, the book, the chapter, and the verse. Abbreviate the name of the book and use a period to separate the chapter and verse. The title of the sacred work must be included in your first citation but is left out of subsequent citations.
