Religion Databases

ATLA Religion Database
When you have a specific text in mind, ATLA is a very effective place to search. Look for the Scriptures link on the main page, then drill down to the text you need. You can specify at the book, chapter, or verse level. If you get too many foreign-language results, you can limit to English (or English/Greek) from the Advanced Search screen.

New Testament Abstracts
Another database for finding journal articles. Also offers Scripture searching.
