This customized course research guide aims to assist you with completing the research paper assignment for BIBL 364 - Acts. Each tab contains the approved resources, with links to those that have proven more difficult to locate. Please feel free to reach out to the liaison librarian with any questions.
To find these articles, you may either type their titles into the main search bar on the library home page, or search for them by publication title using the journal finder tool.
The premier database for locating religious and theological journal article content is Atla Religion Serials Plus.
This database has a unique Scripture index that allows you to quickly locate relevant articles on a biblical text down to the verse. It is found on the far-left side of the screen, at the very bottom of the Research tools.
Another tactic is to search for the biblical book of John by using a special EBSCO code of "Bible. John" and then add in a second search line with "I am". Both have quote marks to search for the full phrase inside the quoted area. The code of <bible. X> is the special ATLA code for limiting to the biblical book of John, as opposed to an article written by someone named John.
Next, add in any desired filters. These include options such as: peer review, full text, date or range of publication, English language, source type as journal articles only, and so on. Use the All Filters button just under the search box and then select as needed.
