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.
