Religion: Find Books

Use this guide to find books, articles, and reference sources to begin exploring and thinking about research in religious studies, theology, and related fields.

In the Stacks: Getting Started

Many relevant materials can be found in the BL-BX call number range, but because Religion is such a wide and inter-disciplinary field, useful resources can also be found in other subject areas, including philosophy, history, music, and literature.

HERE is a link to a list of subject headings in the library's collection.  

You can access the entire B Classification Schedule HERE.

LC Call Numbers

The Fontbonne library uses Library of Congress call numbers to organize its collection. The classification system separates all material into 21 classes, each with its own alphabet letter. These classes are divided into smaller classes, or subclasses, identified by additional letters and numbers.
