Messenger name).
2. Articles should be submitted as an email or Messenger attachment in Word file.

3. An article may range from thirty to fifty double-spaced pages with footnotes, using 12
point Times New Roman fonts; and book reviews, between four to six double-spaced
pages with no footnotes.
4. The article should include the basic parts—Abstract (75 to 150 words placed below the
title), Keywords, Introduction, body, and Conclusion. The Conclusion should suggest an
application, answering the question, “What do I want the reader to gain from my article?”
5. Writers should use the third person pronouns (he, she, it, they) entirely and consistently.
6. Do no use first person (I, we, us) and second person pronouns (You). Do not use
instruction implying the second person (e. g. “Notice that . . .”)
7. Both Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic alphabets and their English translation should be
supplied and not the former or the latter alone.
8. Do not divide a Hebrew phrase, clause, or sentence between lines. It should be written

9. Use abbreviations for Bible verses. For a succeeding Bible verse, it may be abbreviated in
Arabic chapter and verse numerals without the abbreviated Bible book that is mentioned
immediately before the succeeding Bible verse.
10. Do not use abbreviations for Bible books at the beginning of the sentence. Do not use
abbreviations for book titles, page numbers, etc. except in parenthesis.
11. Do not underline a heading. First headings should be centered, boldface, and each word
capitalized. Second headings should be flushed left, boldface, and the first letter of each
word capitalized. Third headings should be indented, italicized, and followed by a period
and the first sentence of the paragraph.
12. Do not underline words for emphasis; instead, use only italics, but sparingly.
13. Do not use present tense verbs when describing past events (e. g. “Paul writes”).

14. Unless otherwise indicated in the WBJ Submission Guidelines, all submissions should
follow the form of Kate L. Turabian’s A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses,
