Using ATLA

The ATLA Religion database is the first stop for finding articles in theology and religion. You can find out more in this guide to using the ATLA Religion database

The best way to find relevant articles on HIV and AIDS in the ATLA Religion database is to use the subject headings assigned to articles by indexers.  Some relevant subjects used in this database are listed below.

To perform a subject search:

1. Enter the database.

2. Type (all caps) DE and then place the subject in quotation marks: i.e. (DE "Climatic changes").

3.  If you want to add a keyword to narrow results, you can either do this after you conduct the broader search, either by clicking on one of the narrower topics that appear on the left side of the screen, or by adding a keyword to one of the empty search boxes that appears in the "Advanced Search" screen.

 

Some helpful subjects in ATLA:

Bible. New Testament -- Economics

Capitalism -- religious aspects -- Christianity

Church work with the poor

Economic development -- ethical aspects

Economic development -- religious aspects

Food relief

Globalization -- ethical aspects

Hunger

Poor

Poverty

Poverty -- biblical teaching

Scarcity

ATLA is the only database that provides for searching by Scripture chapter and verse; see this tutorial for using the Scripture Search function.

One tip: if the passage you're searching has a popular name in addition to a scripture reference (e.g., "lost sheep parable"), it can be helpful to do the scripture search first, then follow it with a subject search for the popular name.
