If you are citing the Westminster Standards, you should ask your professor what his preference is for citation because not all professors will want you to follow the conventions described in Turabian. You can use abbreviations such as WSC in lieu of shortened titles for subsequent citations within your paper. Instead use alternate locators citing either by question and answer for the catechisms or by chapter and paragraph for the Confession of Faith. Most of the time, it is sufficient to cite the Westminster Standards either in footnotes or parenthetically, and you do not need to include it in your bibliography.ĭo not use page numbers for your citation. Third, if you are citing the standards throughout your paper, you should use parenthetical citation instead of footnotes for the standards (much as you would with Bible references). If you are discussing the shorter catechism's definition of sanctification, you would not. So, if you are discussing the American revisions of chapter 28 on the civil magistrate and comparing the text to the original British edition, you would need to include facts of publication. If you are just citing for content, then you do not need to include all the normal facts of publication such as place of publication, publisher, and date. If you are doing a close text analysis of differences between revisions in the Standards then you will need to include the facts of publication for the editions you are using. Second, whether or not you include various facts of publication will depend on how you are using the material. First, you should check with your professor to find out if there is a certain edition they want you to use and if they have a preference for how you cite. The rules governing citation of the Westminster Confession of Faith, Larger Catechism, and Shorter Catechism are found in Turabian 17.8 (The section covering Older Works and Sacred Works.) However, how you cite the Westminster Standards may vary based on several factors.
