David Purton submitted an update to the
biblatex-sbl
package.
Version: 2.0 2026-04-29
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) style files for BibLaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After many years of slow development, biblatex-sbl v2.0 is finally released!
Highlights include:
- Full support for every example in the SBL Handbook of Style 2nd ed., SBLHS Student Supplement and SBLHS blog.
- Documentation showing how to set up and cite bib entries for every supported example.
- Advanced handling of first and subsequent citations in running text and footnotes.
- Support for a variety of types of reprints.
- Comprehensive support for abbreviations, including citing reference works, ancient works and general abbreviations.
- Support for citing ancient works by both source division and text collection page, including indicating the translator if needed.
- German translation strings
Important Note:
v2.0 breaks compatibility with the v0.x releases in a number of ways. This is both because SBL style has become a rolling style that is continually updated at the blog and lack of development time to maintain many levels of backwards compatibility.
