From the home page, find the "Databases" link in the Databases card on the left center of the page. This will take you to the database list. You can use the "Subjects" drop down menu to choose "Theology" databases. However, the most common and most recommended is Atla Religion Database with AtlaSerials PLUS.. Others could include APA PsycArticles for counseling and behavioral science topics.There are also other book and reference databases in the Theology list.
