Theology and Religious Studies

Here is a copy of my bibliography. Did I do it correctly? I need to use Chicago-style documentation.

Answer

  1. Answer by: Poley, Darren G.

    From the Chicago Manual of Style online

    Books

    14.69Elements to include when citing a book

    A full reference must include enough information to enable an interested reader to locate the book. Most references contain at least some information not strictly needed for that purpose but potentially helpful nonetheless. The elements listed below are included, where applicable, in full documentary notes and bibliography entries. The order in which they appear will vary slightly according to type of book, and certain elements are sometimes omitted; such variation will be noted and illustrated in the course of this chapter.

    1. Author: full name of author(s) or editor(s) or, if no author or editor is listed, name of institution standing in their place
    2. Title: full title of the book, including subtitle if there is one
    3. Editor, compiler, or translator, if any, if listed on title page in addition to author
    4. Edition, if not the first
    5. Volume: total number of volumes if multivolume work is referred to as a whole; individual number if single volume of multivolume work is cited, and title of individual volume if applicable
    6. Series title if applicable, and volume number within series if series is numbered
    7. Facts of publication: city, publisher, and date
    8. Page number or numbers if applicable
    9. For electronic books consulted online, a URL or DOI, or, for other types of electronic books, an indication of the medium consulted (e.g., DVD, CD-ROM); see 14.4–13

     

    Periodicals

    14.171Information to be included

    Citations of periodicals require some or all of the following data:

    1. Full name(s) of author or authors
    2. Title and subtitle of article or column
    3. Title of periodical
    4. Issue information (volume, issue number, date, etc.)
    5. Page reference (where appropriate)
    6. For online periodicals, a URL or, if available, a DOI (see 14.5, 14.6, 14.184)

    Indispensable for newspapers and most magazines is the specific date (month, day, and year). For journals, the volume and year plus the month or issue number are usually cited. Additional data make location easier. See also 14.70.
