How to Cite the KJV Bible

Sacred texts such as the Bible often are subject to special rules for citation when listed in reference sources. For instance, the American Psychological Association does not even require that a student list common sources such as the Bible in a reference list. However, the Modern Language Association does set out specific guidelines for the proper citation of the Holy Bible. If you are adhering to MLA style guidelines, you must list the King James Version of the Holy Bible in your reference list if you use it as a source of information.

Instructions

- 1
  List the name and version of the Bible, separated by a colon. This should appear in italics and be followed by a period. For example: The Holy Bible: King James Version.
- 2
  List the city of publication, followed by a colon. For example:
  
  Boston:
  
  If the city is not a major site of publishing houses, include the postal code abbreviation for the state. For example:
  
  Indianapolis, IN:
- 3
  List the name of the publisher, followed by a comma. For example:
  
  Sacred Text Press,
- 4
  List the year of publication, followed by a period. For example:
  
  1999.
- 5
  Ensure that the finished citation appears in the following format:
