BTS 3910 / NPD 3000: Political Theologies (Veeneman): Finding Books

Searching for Political Theologies in the Catalog

  • Some of the search terms for these theologies are obvious, while others are not.
  • "Liberation theology," "Black theology," "Feminist theology," and "Womanist theology " are all subject terms in Brandel Library online catalog.
  • "Catholic social teaching" is not, however.
    • You can search for that  as a keyword phrase and find relevant articles in the catalog. 
    • You can also search the subject heading phrases "Christian sociology -- Catholic Church" and "Catholic Church -- Sociology. These are broader than "Catholic social teaching," but include the items that discuss that perspective.
