Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception (EBR) OnlineThese titles are among the dozens of Reference books and sets available electronically on campus, or off-campus using your MyLMU login and password.
For additional titles of both print and electronic reference titles (with links), see the compilation databases like Credo Reference and Oxford Biblical Studies Online, and individual titles in clusters like the Gale Virtual Reference Library.
There are numerous Reference books on the Bible and on religion and individual religions. Some are also online, but many are not. Try to find the best reference book for your particular purpose, rather than just stick to one format! A Reference librarian can help with this. ASK!
Unless you're an expert, starting a new project can be a little shaky. The tools on this page will give you a solid foundation (vs. a "house built on sand") upon which to build your paper or project. Encyclopedias, whether an e-reference or print, will give you a good overview of the turf. These tools cover a subject broadly, break it into segments (helping you narrow down your topic), and usually provide a list of good books and/or articles that will take you further into your topic.
