RSC Style Guide
Religious Studies Center Style Guide, 1 October 2018 Authors who submit manuscripts for potential publication should generally follow the guidelines in The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed. (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2017) and Style Guide for Editors and Writers, 5th ed. (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2013). This style guide summarizes the main principles in the other style guides and lists a few exceptions to their guidelines. Formatting 1. Use double-spacing throughout the manuscript and the endnotes. Use one-inch margins, and insert page numbers at the bottom of the page. Use a Times New Roman 12-point font for both the body of the manuscript and the notes. Use only one space after periods. 2. If you have images, add captions and courtesy lines (such as courtesy of Church History Library, Salt Lake City) to the Word file. However, do not insert images in the Word files; submit them separately. Images should be 300 dpi or better (TIFF or JPG files). File names and captions should match (Fig. 1.1 = chapter 1, figure 1). Headings 3. Update: Include headings to break up the text. First-Level Headings First-level headings should be flush left and bolded, as in the example above. Capitalize internal words except for articles (a, an, and the), conjunctions (and, but, or, for, so, and yet), prepositions, and the word to in infinitive phrases. Second-Level Headings Second-level headings should be flush left and italicized. Capitalize like first-level headings. Third-level headings. Third-level headings should be italicized, followed by a period, and run in to the text; capitalization should be handled sentence-style (capitalize the first word and proper nouns). -

How to See into the Past Look up at the night sky The light you see emerged many years, even millennia, ago and has just traveled close enough to Earth to be visible with the naked eye or a telescope. The nearest optical supernova in two decades, SN 2014J was discovered on January 21, 2014. SN 2014J occurred in the Cigar Galaxy and lies about 12 million light-years away. When this blast oc- curred, geologically speaking Earth was in the Miocene Epoch. Count the rings on a tree Dendrochronology is the study of growth rings, which scientists can use to date temperate zone trees. In contrast, tropical trees lack the dramat- ic seasonal changes that produces periods of rapid growth and dor- mancy that result in growth rings. In 1964 Donald Currey, a graduate student in the geography department at the University of North Caro- lina, unintentionally cut down the oldest living organism on the planet. In what became known as the “Prometheus Story,” Currey’s core sample tool became lodged in bristlecone pine and the park officials advised him to simply cut down the tree, rather than lose the tool and waste this research opportunity. The tree Currey cut down became known as Prometheus, which was estimated to be 4,900 years old. Currently the old- est known living tree, about 4,600 years old, is in the White Mountains of California; there are likely even older bristlecones that have not been dated. Look at the desert landscape Movement and changes in the earth’s geology are apparent in the striated layers of rock and dirt, especially visible in the desert’s barren landscape. -

It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness" (D&C 109:13)
“It Is Thy House, a Place fo Thy Holiness” Gwen B. Goaslind Wife of General Authority emeritus; mother; matron of Manti Utah Temple. © 2001 Gwen B. Goaslind. All rights reserved. A couple of years ago a friend of ours was invited to serve as a volunteer at a temple open house. One of her assignments was to guide people from the receiving doors to enter the temple. Her duty station positioned her near a larger-than-life art print of the Savior, in which He appeared to be reaching towards those in the waiting line. In his extended hands were visible the imprints of the nail wounds. The people were coming to see the completion of the beautiful temple, and she noticed as the people approached the many facial expressions and excited conversation. She said it was interesting to watch as each person eventually made eye contact with the picture of the Savior on the wall. There was a marked change of countenance, and their voices took on a hushed tone when needing to speak. Each visitor seemed to absorb "the message" of the moment and the out- stretched hands offering, "come unto me." Temples are houses of the Lord wherein He may dwell and where He may pour out His blessings. The Savior said that ordinances performed therein "bear record of me, even Jesus Christ" (D&C 68:6). When Solomon's temple was completed, virtually the whole Israelite nation came together to celebrate the dedication (2 Chronicles 5-7). So, too, in our day, each temple dedication is a time of rejoicing for the Church.
