I enjoyed how the SBL spoke from a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, understanding of formatting. It didn't try to invent rules or new patterns, but instead looked for agreement among the styles being used by Bible scholars. This text is a five-star text because it names in clear ways how writers of Bible stuff can better convey meaning and name the way others are informing their thoughts within the text.
As a copy editor who sometimes runs across questions in the field, I've found it a great resource. When I first received it (first edition), I thought there would be couple portions I could use. When I started checking it, those "couple" turned to "many." The book has moved to my primary, go-to, within-easy-reach shelf.
Helping me tremendously with papers. Still having difficulty with finding exact documentation style at times.
An indispensable resource, and easy to follow. A must for all seminary students.
Great improvement over the first edition!
I use this for reference.
