The Christian Writer's Manual of Style is a Christian-publishing-industry standard. This new edition updates, revises, and expands information vital to writers in the religious and general markets, including many topics not addressed in other references. This edition contains all the most relevant material from the fourth edition, with an expanded "Word List" (which makes up more than a third of the book), and it offers ways of dealing with sensitive topics like profanity, inclusive language, pronoun preferences, disability terms, ethnic designations, slang, and the deity pronoun. The most needful information is still here--entries on capitalization, abbreviation, citation, fictional dialogue, and more--but all of it has been updated to keep pace with the changes in our language. This book still adheres to Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 12th Edition but has been thoroughly updated to conform to the new Chicago Manual of Style, 18th Edition, though it isn't afraid to chart new territory when those references are unhelpful or silent on issues of religious writing. In fact, the CWMS contains hundreds of bits of information that those references don't even touch on.
