Gain an overview of the basic steps of research that correspond with the stated mission of the faculty in the Historical-Doctrinal area:
". . . [to] understand the past as a means of comprehending the present. Students engaged in these studies also struggle to form their own theology and to discover what it means to be Christian in today's world."  (Seminary Catalog)

Always refer to your instructor's own preferences for research methods and preferred terminology!  

The Reference Area contains only the basic and most common resources.  Students are encouraged to explore the corresponding Call Number sections, principally in the 3West and Mid-Range stacks, for a greater breadth of studies.  Also, use subject headings and/or authors' name to pursue an expanded research on a topic beyond the holdings of JCBL through Galileo and ATLA databases.
Periodicals, both online ejournals and paper holdings at JBCL, should also be consulted for a thorough coverage of an research topic.
