🤣This is a hilarious montage of Chuck Norris jokes. If you think about it, he really was the first 80’s action hero and pretty much started the genre of 80’s and 90’s action movies.


There's no need to list "Grand Rapids," "Wheaton, IL," etc. anymore when you cite a book in a footnote or bibliography. When I require students to write a paper, I include this in my syllabus: "For style, abbreviations, and bibliography on written assignments, follow The SBL Handbook of Style, 2nd ed. (2014)." I just updated my syllabus by adding this to the end of that sentence: "but you no longer need to cite publisher locations." And I footnote this article: “Publisher Locations.” SBL Handbook of Style: Explanations, Clarifications, and Expansions, 5 December 2025. sblhs2.com/2025/12/05/pub…. (Zotero has recently updated the SBL style definition to omit publisher locations in footnotes and bibliographies.) I checked with some publishers (like Crossway and Baker), and they are omitting place of publication as well to follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th ed. (2024). That simplifies matters. I like it.
