The American Theological Library Association Serials Database (ATLAS®) is an online full-text collection of major religion and theology journals used by libraries, librarians, scholars, students, and religious leaders worldwide. It is part of the ATLA Religion Database® (ATLA RDB®), which is the premier index to journal articles, book reviews, and collections of essays in all fields of religion, with coverage from 1949 and retrospective indexing for several journal issues as far back as the nineteenth century. Journals are selected for inclusion according to their scholarly merit and scope. The fact that many publishers solicit the inclusion of their journals in ATLA RDB® is indicative of the stature it has achieved in the community of religion scholars.
This service provides you access to more than 3.5 million resources, including its electronic collection. You will have access to over 587,000 full-text PDFs, with searchable texts of journals, articles, and reviews on a wide range of subjects in the field of religion. You can search the database by topic or by specific scripture verse making this resource a highly valuable tool you will use on a regular basis.
