How to make the most of the ATLA/ATLAS for your research and writing.

ATLA scripture searching

Scripture searching

Many times it is useful to search Bible passages for your research paper.

More information and a video tutorial are found in this tab.

Should I only search by Scripture passage for my Biblical studies paper?

Short answer: No!  The reason is that to get good results, you ought to search both by Scripture passage as well as search the main subject(s) dealt with in that passage (e.g., justification, sin, etc.).  That way you come at the passage from multiple angles and find more useful resources for your paper.
