Book review:
John McKnight and Peter Block – The Abundant Community: Awakening the Power of Families and Neighborhoods. Review by Howard Lawrence
Quotations
Short quotations can be included in the body of the text, using single speech marks. Longer quotations (3 lines or more) are indented and they are single-spaced. (Any personal interpolation should be indicated in square brackets to show that they are not part of the quoted matter). E.g. John Brown notes that ‘not all dogs have spots’.
Use single quotation marks, reserving double for quoted words within a quotation.
Use italics for titles: The New Parish.
Long quotations of three or more lines should be italicized, single spaced and indented but with no speech marks. For instance:
Save in two instances the word “world’ evidently means for the writer of this letter the whole society outside the church, in which however the believers live. The injunction to Christians is, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.” The world appears as a realm under the power of evil; it is the region of darkness, into which the citizens of the kingdom of light must not enter; it is characterized by the prevalence in it of lies, hatred and murder; it is the heir of Cain.2
