Religious Studies

This database allows you to search through scholarly journals, magazines, newspapers, and more all focused on religions from around the world.

JSTOR is a great place for scholarly religion research (it also includes other subjects). You can find articles from the 1800s to present and book chapters also show up in a search! If you don't absolutely need something that was published in the last 6 years, search as is. If you do want to find resources from the past 6 years, under "Select an access type" choose "All Content." If you only find a citation, use the other box on this page to see if we have access to the journal or book, otherwise see the Interlibrary loan tab.

While this database has a more broad focus of the humanities, it includes citations and full-text articles from magazines and scholarly journals related to religious studies.

It automatically only searches "only content I have access to," so if you're not finding something try checking "all content" instead. You might have to interlibrary loan something but first use the other box on this page to double check we don't have access to it elsewhere.
