Preamble:
The Divinity School by and large has used Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations which is largely based upon the Chicago Manual of Style (14th edition). This brief style guide will follow the examples of Turabian's guide. An annotated bibliography of style guides is below. See Citing Wesley for more information on proper citation for citing from John Wesley's work.
Footnotes versus Author-date:
Turabian following the Chicago Manual of Style (14th edition) allows authors a choice between using footnotes with bibliographies and text notes with author-date citations. If your professor has a preference, use it. Otherwise, be consistent. Examples are included for both.
