Here is a question that has plagued my writing:
When citing the Heidelberg Catechism and the Westminster Shorter Catechism, how does one do that succinctly? It seems really cumbersome to say, "As it says in Heidelberg Catechism Question and Answer 2 and Westminster Shorter Catechism Question and Answer 85....."
I always find some way around that, but I'm not always sure I'm right. Can I reasonably say (in an official paper) "HC 2 and WSC 85" and have people know what I mean? Or is there some better way to trim it down a bit so I don't feel like I'm drowning in the citation?
