Religious and Theological Abstracts (RTA)
What is it?
Religious and Theological Abstracts provides you with objective summaries of articles appearing in scholarly journals in the fields of religion and theology.
What can it do for me?
- Provides you with summaries that deal with the content of the article instead of merely giving you a title.
- This kind of tool will help you locate information relevant to the way you hope to treat the subject since you can know the content by reading a description.
