1 SBL style calls for the titles of most journals and series to be abbreviated, using the abbreviations given on pages 171-260 of the Handbook (p. 89-152 in the 1999 edition). If you do not know the official SBL abbreviation of a title, do not guess: either look it up in the handbook or spell out the title in full. Be consistent throughout your bibliography in use of abbreviations. 2 This format is also acceptable for electronic articles that lack either a DOI or a stable URL. For articles found in a library database, CMS 14.271 recommends providing the name of the database (e.g., ALTA Religion Database with ATLASerials) after the page numbers.
