two additional sources from the APU Library; see the APU Writing Center’s Research Tips and ResourcesOpen this document with ReadSpeaker docReader for suggestions about finding good resources.
NOTE: While you will likely reference the Bible, it does not count toward one of your four required sources. Also, in APA style, classical works – including the Bible – are not listed in the References page. Embed biblical citations within the text as follows: “Then Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal” (Luke 9:12, NRSV). Only indicate the Bible version in the first citation; it is not necessary to identify each citation as NRSV.
