Bible Citation Question

I haven't, but I'm not super well read in religious studies. It's certainly interesting. What book was it, if you don't mind?

What culture/nationality was the person in the book?

On some occasion I did see the use of Roman numerals for chapters, yes.

Googling "Matthew xii,24" shows both 19th and 21st century writings in English featuring such notation.

The "Book chapter:verse" notation that you see all over the place is from The Chicago Manual of Style, clearly whoever is doing something else is not following it.

Are you saying the book chapter: verse is incorrect? I'm confused could you clarify

>>9735154
just realizing the roman numerals are not capitalized to avoid confusion with the books, ah

bump this thread is important

>>9735432
What? Where did I even say anything about correctness or the lack thereof?

One more time:
>The "Book chapter:verse" notation that you see all over the place is from The Chicago Manual of Style, clearly whoever is doing something else is not following The Chicago Manual of Style
Other Bible cittation style exist like Modern Language Association, American Psychological Association, etc.

Burton does this in "anatomy of melancholy"
