The usual way students locate articles for use in their research papers is by searching related databases or EagleSearch, the library tool that searches multiple databases simultaneously. For that reason, this page points students to the databases that are most likely to be helpful when doing biblical studies. See the research guide linked below for more tips on finding articles.

Whether using EagleSearch or one of the EBSCOhost databases, limit results to "academic journals" and "peer-reviewed."

• Do a subject search for opens new windowBible Luke, then limit dates to 1970 to present, peer-reviewed, full-text, English (and other languages you know) journal articles.
• Then narrow the results by adding keywords related to your topic.

To find articles on Acts in the same database:

• Do a subject search for opens new windowBible Acts and limit as above: from 1970 to present, peer-reviewed, full-text, English (and other languages you know) journal articles.

• Then add keywords related to your paper topic to reduce the number of hits further.
