The ATLA Religion Database is a premier index for scholarly research in religion, theology, and related fields. Produced by the American Theological Library Association (ATLA), it provides comprehensive indexing for journal articles, book reviews, and essays in multi-author works. Covering a wide range of topics—biblical studies, world religions, church history, pastoral ministry, ethics, and more—it serves as an essential resource for students, faculty, and researchers in theological and religious studies. The database includes records from thousands of journals, many dating back to the nineteenth century, offering deep historical and contemporary coverage of religious scholarship worldwide.

The ATLA Serials PLUS collection complements this index by providing full-text access to a large and growing number of journals in religion and theology. This includes major titles published by scholarly societies, seminaries, and religious organizations, representing diverse Christian denominations as well as other faith traditions. In addition to journal articles, users can find essays, book reviews, and other materials supporting advanced academic research.

Together, these two databases—accessible via the EBSCO platform—offer a rich combination of bibliographic indexing and full-text content. They are invaluable tools for exploring theological thought, religious practice, and spiritual traditions from around the world. Whether for coursework, sermon preparation, or academic study, ATLA Religion Database and ATLA Serials PLUS provide reliable, authoritative, and comprehensive coverage of religion and theology research materials.
