Old Testament Abstracts

Old Testament Abstracts was established in 1978 and contains abstracts of journal articles and books related to Old Testament Studies.  It is available in print and online as an e-journal.  You can also search the publication in database form.  Please note that the database version contains a Scripture Search feature that functions in the same manner as the Atla Religion Database as seen in the video tutorial to the left.
