  • Page number at the top right (Arabic numeration).
  • The articles will have a maximum length of 14 pages and will be submitted in digital format in Word or equivalent program; they will not be received in PDF.
  • The paper should include the “Abstract” and some “Key words”, in Spanish and English.
  • At the end of the text, the author's name and the date of submission should be included. If the author is a teacher or researcher, the name should be accompanied by the institution where he/she works, e-mail and a brief summary of the CV.

  1. Fonts (characters, sizes, styles)

All text is written in Times New Roman.

 

2.1 Basic text

 

Title:                                     14 point bold

First level subtitles:             12 point bold italic

Second level subtitles:            12 point italic

Third level subtitles:               12 point normal

Body text:                               12 point normal

Text spacing:                          Single

Paragraph spacing:                 1.5 lines

Alignment:                             Justified

 

For the internal division of the text it is advisable to use the decimal system

[e.g.: 1.2; 1.3; 1.3.3 etc.]. The following scheme can be used as a reference model:

 

  1. The house 12 point bold italics

1.1 The windows                   12 point italic

1.2 The doors                        12 point italic

1.2.1 Door handles               12 point normal

1.2.2 Frames                         12 points normal

 

  1. The courtyard 12 point bold and italics

In the body of the text:

  • paragraphs are indented on the first line.
  • Italics are used only for words in other languages and titles of works cited.
  • underlining and bold type are omitted.
  • question marks and/or exclamation points are written attached (i.e., without an intervening space) to the letter [e.g., Were not the ten cured?]
  • hyphens to enclose an idea in a sentence are written attached to the sentence (i.e., without an intervening space) and with long dashes [e.g., “For the mystery - that excess of truth - does not fit in the human mind”].1

2.2. Textual quotations

Quoted words and phrases inserted in the text are written between Latin quotation marks (« »). Double high or English quotation marks are used to indicate quotations within quotations (“ ”); single quotation marks for quotations within the latter (‘ ’)

  • if they do not occupy more than three lines, following the text. [E.g.: «Because God is Word in himself, because he is day-logo in his essence and in his being, there can be a free and gratuitous word that God addresses to man created in the image and likeness of his Word».].2
  • if they are longer, in a separate paragraph, leaving a space of 1.5 lines, with body 10 points, single spacing and left indentation of approx. 1.25 cm. E.g.:

«Faith is a primordial life and from it a second form of life is born, derived from it and always returning in a circle to it: this is theology. The personal life of the theologian determines the theology he does, because in his work he is anything but passive, reactionary in the sense of responding in a purely isomorphic attitude with respect to the word that precedes him. On the contrary: it permeates him and he in a certain sense permeates it, giving it a new expression and luminosity».3

  • If a sentence is omitted within the quotation, it should be indicated with three periods without parentheses (...).

2.3 Footnotes

The footnote number must be placed at the end of the sentence or proposition and must be placed immediately after any punctuation mark. E.g.: “there was in his gait - if the oxymoron is tolerable - a graceful clumsiness”.

Arabic numeration is used, without space or indentation; 10-point font.

 

  1. Bibliographical references

Bibliographical references will be made according to the Chicago Manual of Style system notes and bibliography.4

3.1 General considerations 

  • When the reference is not a textual citation, the abbreviation Cf. should always be used (do not omit the period).
  • Whenever a work is cited for the first time, all the details should be given in a note. However, subsequent citations of that work only require an abbreviated form. In the bibliography, the author's name is reversed. Note that in works with two or more authors only the name cited first is reversed. In most of the examples below, the full citation, the abbreviated citation, and the bibliographic entry (highlighted in our examples in gray) are given.
  • Repetition of references:
  1. If a reference is to the same page of the same work as the immediately preceding one, only Ibid. is used (in italics).
  2. If reference is made to other pages, the new data is added after Ibid. [E.g.: assuming that the previous complete reference is: José L. Sicre, Introducción al profetismo bíblico (Navarra: Verbo Divino, 2011), 35-37, the new one is indicated Ibid., 55].
  3. In the case of a repeated reference to a work already cited (but not immediately before) only the author's last name is placed followed by the first words of the title. [José L. Sicre, Introduction... 63].
  4. If it is a work that will be used many times, it is convenient to assign an abbreviation that is announced in parentheses after the first complete citation. [E.g.: Valentín Viguera Francos, San Francisco de Sales (Madrid: Palabra, 1990). (hereinafter SFS)].

3.2 Sacred Scripture

Biblical texts are cited according to the abbreviations and acronyms of the Jerusalem Bible (4th ed.), without a period after the abbreviation.5 [Ex: Gen 2:4-8; Mt 5:6-7:12; Rom 4:11; 5:3] No space is placed between verses cited in succession. [E.g.: Is 41:3,7,9.]
