We have had a few questions regarding the expectations for quoting scripture in the LFBI essays. Here are some of the standards that we ask that you to adhere to. Moving forward these requirements will also be in the descriptions of all "writing assignments". Watch the video to help guide you....
- Biblical references that are quoted DO NOT count toward the overall minimum length of an essay - nor should biblical quotations increase the overall length of the essay by more than 20%.
- Quotations SHOULD NOT exceed more than 20% of the essay.
- Biblical citations DO NOT count toward number of citations or sources required for the assignment (endnotes/footnotes)
- Preferably, biblical references will be made at the end of a sentence in parentheses, ie. "(Mat 3:15)."
