The Book of Ibid

Sharing Options

“Matthew is referring to both, quotes one, and gives the credit, according to their custom, to the major prophet [cf. Matt. 27:9-10; Zech. 11:12-13; Jer. 32:9]. Your objection here actually amounts to saying that Matthew should have followed the Chicago Manual of Style. But it would be just as valid for Matthew to claim that you had cited a source incorrectly because you wrote Ibid in one of your footnotes. ‘I looked and looked,’ Matthew said, ‘and there is no book in the whole library called Ibid.'” (Letter From a Christian Citizen, p. 70).
