What Is Atlas?

As an alumnus of the Moody Bible Institute, you are eligible to gain access to the Atla Religion Database® (Atla RDB) with serials which, according to their website, is the “premier index to journal articles, book reviews, and collections of essays in all fields of religion, with coverage from 1949 and retrospective indexing for some journal issues as far back as the nineteenth century. Journals are selected for inclusion according to their scholarly merit and scope. The fact that many publishers solicit the inclusion of their journals in Atla RDB is indicative of the stature it has achieved in the community of religion scholars.”
