BIBL 364 - Acts: Home

This research guide features resources and strategies for finding information and conducting research related to the New Testament book; Acts of the Apostles.

Welcome

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.

Finding Journal Articles

The premier database for locating religious and theological journal article content is Atla Religion Atla 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 in the dark blue ribbon across the top of the database, as indicated by the arrow below.

The search results can then be combined with other search terms to further narrow the results. For example, after finding all articles on John, you can add "I AM" as another search term.

You can limit even further using the limiters to the side, circled below. Two limiters to consider include:

  • Publication Date. Use the slider, or type in dates.
  • Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals. Check the box.

Beware of limiting too much: the more limiters, the fewer the results.​
