Citing BDAG, ect in BibleWorks 7.0 MLA style

[jarnett0001]

How do I cite BDAG, grammars, ect. in BibleWorks 7.0 in the MLA format for use in an academic resource? I have a manual for citing sources in academic resources/scholarly journals. It mentions examples of quoting electronic resources, but not an electronic resource from within an electronic resource. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chan Arnett

Hi Chan,

I don't know MLA style (haven't used it for many, many years), so I can't say much about it. However, I think you may be making it harder on yourself than you need to.

Perhaps something as simple as the following is sufficient (MLA format generated from Zotero):

Bauer, Walter. A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Liturature. Ed. Frederick W. Danker. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2000. <BibleWorks. v.7.>.

If it's for publication just be sure to spell Literature correctly.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the correction. I make the correction in my Zotero file, but that was after I already copied the citation to the clipboard. :-(
