Chicago Footnote Referencing - Theology Students

This guide provides information on how to reference using the Chicago Footnote referencing style. PLEASE NOTE: Counselling and Education students should use APA referencing style.

The Chicago-Style Bibliography

The bibliography is located on a new page at the end of your assignment and should include all the details of every source you have referred to in your assignment. NB: Unlike a traditional bibliography, which would list all sources you read, you should only include sources specifically cited in your assignment. 

References should be organised alphabetically, according to authors' names, and then according to the title if there is the same author for two or more references. References should be formatted with a hanging indent if they are longer than one line.

Example:

*Please note that further example bibliography references throughout this guide are not formatted to use hanging indents. Your assignment, however, should use hanging indents.

On a standard word processing software (e.g. Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Pages), the page break (new page) and hanging indent formatting tools are built in.
