I have a copy of The Chicago Manual of Style, so that's the one I'm using. The SBL manual might be more useful for a theology paper, but I don't have a copy.
In any case, the possible ways of referring to books cited in the text are so complicated that I despair of mastering them. Today I changed, for about the third time, the way of citing a chapter that has an author different from the author or editor/s of the book in which it occurs. Navigating The Chicago Manual surely competes in complexity with navigating the city itself.

Editing
I'm editing today, working on the Ph.D. thesis of a friend. It's about the political theology of Reinhold Niebuhr, and a very interesting work it is! It reflects on Niebuhr's use of Augustine's City of God, so I'm getting insights into that work, too.
Today the surroundings are Atlanta Bread Company (read "great pastries, okay coffee") and music provided by Pandora.com, specifically my JSBach channel, so I'm getting music like Dietrich Buxtehude's Sonata for 2 violins, viola da gamba, & harpsichord in C major. Rock on!
