Abbreviations




This work will conform to the abbreviations for ancient and modern sources and general format conventions set out by The SBL Handbook of Style: For Biblical Studies and Related Disciplines. 2nd ed. Alexander, Patrick, James Eisenbraun, and Billie Jean Collins, eds. (Atlanta, Ga.: SBL Press, 2014). Unless otherwise indicated the references to the works of classical authors reflect the Loeb Classical Library (LCL) numbering system, translations and Latin abbreviations. Following the classical author the Latin title is given with an English translation followed by the LCL number. The source for the other primary sources are indicated at the end of each abbreviation. Unless otherwise indicated, all Scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved. Italics within Scripture quotations indicate emphasis added. The Septuagint is based on Septuaginta edited by Alfred Rahlfs, Copyright © 1935 by the Württembergische Bibelanstalt / Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft (German Bible Society), Stuttgart. Greek translations are my own unless otherwise indicated and based on the Greek text of the 27th ed. edition of Nestle-Aland, Novum Testamentum Graece in cooperation with the Institute for New Testament Textual Research, Münster/Westphalia. ed., Kurt Aland, et al., Stuttgart, Germany: Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, 1993 unless otherwise indicated. Used by permission. Philological work is based on Michael S. Bushell, Michael D. Tan BibleWorks™ Version 8 (1992–2008). Where no book is cited before the reference this will refer to a citation from the book of Revelation and has been removed to simplify the text (example: 3:5; 2:6). Apart from the biblial abbreviations and Dead Sea Scrolls the ancient and modern sources have been combined to make it easier to locate the abbreviation.
