The following online resources are currently available for trial access:

Encyclopedia of the Bible and its reception online - This is the first and only comprehensive reference work devoted to the Bible and its reception and is an indispensable reference work not only for theology and religious studies, but also for the humanities, the arts, cultural studies, and the social sciences. The encyclopedia contains the most up-to-date information on the origins and development of the Bible in the canons of Judaism and Christianity and documents the history of biblical interpretation and reception, not only in Christianity and Judaism, but also in Islam and other non-Western religious traditions and movements.
It records how biblical texts have been read, interpreted, and integrated into thought, science, and culture throughout the centuries, summarizing the most recent scholarly research on the reception of the Bible in an array of academic disciplines such as classics and archaeology as well as a wide range of cultural and humanistic fields, such as literature, visual arts, music, film, and dance. Its interdisciplinary approach thus transcends a purely theological or religious perspective.
