ATLA Religion Database: Scripture Search

One of the advantages of using the ATLA database is that it enables you to search for articles about scripture passages. To initiate this type of search you need to click on Subjects.

 

Next, select Atla Scripture Search from the pulldown menu.

 

Once selected, a list of all biblical books in canonical order will appear. Click the box next to the book you want to search. This will make sure your results are about the Gospel of Mark, not just written by someone named Mark or about physical marks. You can also click on the + next to the name of any book to search at the chapter or verse level.

 

Once you have selected the book (chapter and verse) that you want to search for, you need to click on the Add to search button. 

 

This will add a search entry into the search boxes. You can now add additional search terms or select Search to begin your search.
