Oxford Bibliographies.- This link opens in a new window
Thousands of research guides created by professors and librarians are arranged in broad subject areas. Each guide lists the most important works on a topic. There is no subject area for Christianity or Religion, but there is one for Biblical Studies (with almost 300 bibliographies on specific biblical books, genres, and periods). The subject areas on Jewish Studies, Medieval Studies, and Renaissance and Reformation include many useful topics. Some pastoral topics can be found in the subject areas Psychology and Social Work.
