To search by Religious & Theological Abstracts by Scripture Citation you'll need to use the Advanced Search
Bible Citation Format : When specifying using the examples below, please make sure that there are no whitespaces between any chapter and verse numbers; for example, you must use "Genesis 1:1-2:2" and not "Genesis 1 : 1 - 2 : 2".

There are 3 methods for searching Atla Religion Database using Scripture Citations.
First a bit of history - Atla Database began as a print INDEX tool and did not include a Scripture index in the print index. The Scripture Search option came AFTER Atla became a digital product. Therefore many of the older articles which address scripture passages are not included in the Scripture Search.
Many of these resources are available through the Grace LancerQuest search. We are providing these links should you desire to browse through available titles.
