Give the author's name followed by the title of the individual section in quotation marks followed by in, then give the book title and the page numbers where the item is found. If the larger work has an editor, list the editor(s) after the book title and prior to the page numbers as shown in section 19.1.9.
Here is an example for citing a specific article in a theological encyclopedia:
R: Morris, L. L. 1996. “Death.” In New Bible Dictionary, 3rd ed., edited by R. W. Wood, 265-267. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press.
P: (Morris 1996, 266)
Here is an example for citing a specific article in an abridged theological encyclopedia such as the one volume Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, frequently referred to as Little Kittel:
R: Kuhn, K. G. 1985. “Maranatha.” In Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, edited by Gerhard Kittel and Gerhard Friedrich. Translated and abridged by Geoffrey W. Bromiley, 563-4. Grand Rapids: William B. Eerdmans.
P: (Kuhn 1985, 564)
Sometimes you may use two or more parts from the same book. In these instances, you may choose to provide a full citation for the entire book and then shortened citations listing the editor and date for the parts used in the reference list.
For example, you may reference multiple parts from the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament as shown below.
R: Kittel, Gerhard and Gerhard Friedrich, eds. 1985. Theological Dictionary of the New Testament. Translated and abridged by Geoffrey W. Bromiley. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans Publishing.
R: Kuhn, K. G. 1985. “Maranatha.” In Kittel 1985, 563-4.
R: Lohse, E. 1985. "Hosanna." In Kittel 1985, 1356.
The corresponding parenthetical citation would refer to the specific parts rather than the whole book.
P: (Kuhn 1985, 564)
P: (Lohse 1985, 1356)
