Containing 1.6 million+ records, the ATLA Religion Database is the premier index to journal articles, book reviews, and collections of essays in all fields of religion.

Coverage areas for RDB include: Bible, archaeology, and antiquities; human culture and society; church history, missions, and ecumenism; pastoral ministry; world religions and religious studies; and theology, philosophy, and ethics

Journals are selected for inclusion according to their scholarly merit and scope. Journals representing all the major religious faiths, major denominations, and numerous language groups are included. ATLA's indexing of multi-author works, such as Festschriften and conference proceedings, is unique among religion databases. Unlike indexes that catalog books of essays as a single entry, ATLA indexes each individual essay in such works.

The 1.6 million+ records in the ATLA Religion Database include:
* 555,700+ journal article records
* 231,500+ essay records from 16,700+ multi-author works
* 511,500+ book reviews of 262,800+ books
* 1,656 journal titles, 518 of which are currently indexed
* languages: 55% English, 8% German, 5% French, 1% Spanish, 1% Italian, 30% other
