Description
|
|
The ATLA Religion Database is an essential tool for the study of religion. It is the
premier index to journal articles, book reviews, and collections of essays in all fields of
religion. 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.
Journals are selected for inclusion according to their scholarly merit and scope. Journals
representing all the major religious faiths, major denominations, and numerous language groups
are included.
ATLA's indexing of multi-author works, such as Festschriften and conference proceedings, is
unique among religion databases. Unlike indexes that catalog books of essays as a single entry,
ATLA indexes each individual essay in such works.
