Q. I need to do some research in Theology and Religion. Where should I begin?

BC Libraries offers many excellent resources (in print and online) to help you conduct theological research.

A concise and academically trustworthy overview of your topic to launch your study such as the New Catholic Encyclopedia is a good first bet.

On the BC Libraries’ website, an excellent starting point is the Theology/Theology & Ministry Portal, which provides links to key resources, including: encyclopedias, specific, theology-themed research guides, and, some of the most relevant databases for theological research.

If you need further assistance, please contact the Theology and Ministry subject librarians.
