How Would I Cite This Priest?

[Byzantine]

I want to cite [i]The Holy Gospels: A Byzantine Perspective[/i] for a paper I'm going to write. The priest who wrote it is both SSL and STD. How would I cite him? His creeds aren't listed in the book, but I know about them from elsewhere.

[Ed Normile]

Just don't say " I know this priest with an STD who said ..."

[Byzantine]

Would "Custer, Rev. John S, SSL, STD" be acceptable? Or is that too much?

Is this APA or MLA citation? Anyway, for a bibliography, the citation listed above would be appropriate.

I was thinking of going with Turabian. I like footnotes. Is that still acceptable?

Turabian is a form of Chicago, and in Chicago I've never seen where you list credentials in the citation. You might do it after the citation but not in the citation itself. Example. Smith, John. [i]This A.wesome Book[/i]. City: Publisher, Year. Dr. Smith is an expert on extraterrestrial zoology. Footnotes are still in, but it depends on the field and for whom you're citing (some journals create their own forms of Chicago/Turabian.)

I'm with Truthfinder. You list the name, not the credentials. See the Turabian Citation Gude here: http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/turabian/turabian_citationguide.html

Yeah, my college used Turabian and I don't recall ever using credentials in a footnote or bibliography. I'd leave it off.

[Marie-Therese]

DItto all on the Turabian.

[Byzantine]

Thanks!

Yeah, I'll just repeat what has been said here. Turabian does not use those sorts of credentials. I have my students learn how to use Turabian and would count off if they were to include credentials.
