Religious text citation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Religious text citation or scripture citation refers to the citation of select portions of religious texts. In Abrahamic religions, it is customary to cite book chapter:verse from within the text. Outside of Abrahamic religious texts, however, it is rare to find similar styles of citation.
