Revision as of 13:53, 7 May 2010
The Canadian Evangelicalism Bibliographies Project (CEBP) is an initiative of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada's (EFC) Centre for Research on Canadian Evangelicalism (CRCE). The CEBP uses wiki (What I Know Is) technology, in this case MediaWiki, to allow scholars to collaboratively build online topical bibliographies on aspects of Canadian Evangelicalism.
We are seeking to provide a bibliographical resources that help us to understand the Canadian Evangelical movement or aspects the movement. Therefore the work of an evangelical Canadian theologian will not necessarily qualify for inclusion in the CEBP unless her theological work somehow illuminates something that is peculiar to Canadian Evangelicalism. We know that there are many works that address evangelicalism generally or evangelicalism outside of Canada. We ask that these works only be included in the CEBP if they in some material way address the Canadian movement.
The bibliography is not to be limited to evangelicals or evangelical movements that originated in the 18th century revival movement. John Stackhouse Jr. has provided a helpful working definition of Evangelicalism (“Defining ‘Evangelical’ “, Church & Faith Trends 1:1 (October 2007) which will help you locate our subject matter. We realize the definition of evangelicalism remains somewhat contested but we trust that our contributors can discern the locus of scholarly consensus and make appropriate and judicious bibliographical selections.
As a guide, please include any bibliographical entry that you think would be of use to a scholar who was conducting research on Canadian Evangelicalism. While this guideline is somewhat subjective, it allows the community of contributors to shape what they collectively feel is important for research.
Please keep each bibliography page to a manageable size. If a page grows larger than 40 entries, please try to identify sub-topics and create new pages for sub-topics. Please then provide a link in the “Related Pages” section of the larger, more general category to each sub-topic. We ask then that you provide a link from the sub-pages back the more general category.
Chicago Manual of Style
We ask that bibliographical entries be posted following the Chicago Manual of Style. This will ensure a consistent look throughout the pages.
Naming Conventions
The CEBP has deliberately chosen to limit its content to bibliographical information and links to abstracts or resources. This means that we do not want to have any photographs or images posted.
When naming pages for persons please list the last name first and then the first and middle names as you would in a bibliographical citation. For example use:
Simpson, Albert B.
not
Albert B. Simpson.
Where a topic may have common alternate names please provide the names at the top of the page in a title size font (see below on title markup tags) For example: “Tyndale University College and Seminary” was formerly known as both “Toronto Bible College” and “Ontario Bible College and Ontario Theological Seminary.” Therefore top of this page would say:
Alternate Names: Toronto Bible College, Ontario Bible College and Ontario Theological Seminary
Where there are several names for an institution please use the current name for the page title and include the former names at the top of the page as “Alternate Names.”
When creating a page on a denomination, please name the page after the official name used by the denomination. If the denomination name customarily begins with the word ‘The’ as in ‘The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada” please omit the ‘The.” This will facilitate more intuitive indexing once pages are categorized. If there are other popular names for the denomination please list them as alternate names.
MediaWiki Markup Language
The CEBP uses a limited subset MediaWiki's markup language functionality. The following links should introduce you to all you need to know to get started.
