Does ChristianBibleStudies.com prefer a particular style?
We are not looking for formulaic writing. We are looking for a readable, commanding, and fluent style. We believe ChristianBibleStudies.com's impact is enhanced through fine and fascinating writing. We want to produce such a well-written, practical site that the reader will always approach ChristianBibleStudies.com with a sense of anticipation.

We recommend The Elements of Style by Strunk and White as a guide for style:

• Use action verbs. Forms of the verb "to be"—is, was, were, etc., make for dead writing. In every possible case, pick forceful verbs.
  
  
• Use anecdotes. Each point in a ChristianBibleStudies.com study needs carefully chosen illustrations, colorfully written. By basing principles in specific experiences, we show how to apply Scriptural principles effectively amid the complexity and ambiguity of real life.
  
  
• Use short sentences whenever possible. Variety of length, of course, contributes to good style, but writers err more often with too many long sentences than short ones.
  
  
• Use long words only when necessary. Some critics claim scholars and professionals purposely write to obfuscate meaning, to cover fuzzy thinking, or to sound intellectual. We don't want to be guilty of this.
  
  
• Assume your reader bores easily, and that he/she has a mound of other projects to move to if necessary. Keep asking yourself, "What grabs my attention? An illustration? A fresh insight? A well-turned phrase?" Keep the reader with you by introducing a constant stream of interesting material.
