Book that is Authored by an Organisation (13:86)

If a publication issued by an organisation, association, or corporation carries no personal author’s name on the title page, the organisation is listed as author in a bibliography, even if it is also given as publisher. Many publications issued by churches or governing bodies of churches will list the organisation as the author of a work.
