Library's online resources for Religions and Theology

Electronic resources. The best place to start is the Library's Religions & Theology subject guide and in particular the databases section which lists the majority of subscribed relevant material; this includes new resources such as the MUP platform, Manchester Hive, which incorporates full text access to the Manchester Religious Studies collection. A number of other publishers have been offering temporary access to online resources, and, since these are added to daily, it's worth periodically revisiting the alphabetical listing of resources opened for COVID 19. Collections of relevance include Theology & Religion Online (Bloomsbury), a number of collections tucked inside Gales's 19th Century Collections Online ('Religion, Society, Spirituality, and Reform' & 'Europe and Africa: Commerce, Christianity, Civilization, and Conquest') together with useful general reference resources such as the Cambridge Companions series which incorporates over 200 titles in its Philosophy, Religion & Culture category. Given that the publishers' resources may not be around for long, we'd recommend that you take advantage of their availability now. Library staff can work with staff/students to obtain additional purchases; contact them by library chat or email uml.eresources@manchester.ac.uk
