Other Databases

Christian Periodical Index This link opens in a new window
New Testament Abstracts This link opens in a new window
Old Testament Abstracts This link opens in a new window

Old Testament Abstracts and New Testament Abstracts both have Scripture Indexes and a Scripture Search tool very similar to ATLA Religion Database

Christian Periodical Index includes scripture reference in the subject field. Use the Advanced Search, limit to the subject and type out your passage. Use Roman numerals for the chapter and Arabic numerals for the verse, e.g. Acts, III, 3. If you are looking for a passage in a book like I Samuel, type 1st or 2nd after Samuel, e.g. Samuel, 1st, XIX, 20-24.
