Search Tip: Advanced Search works best for finding works by the author's ethnic background. Use the three dropdown menus labeled "Keyword." In the first, set to "Keyword," type "Asian," "Black," "Hispanic," or "Indigenous" to identify the authors' ethnic background within the American context. In the second, also set to "Keyword," enter your topic, like "Gospel of Matthew" or "pastoral care." Click the green "Search" button to view relevant books or documents.

ABEST Purpose Statement: God asks us to serve all ethnic and cultural groups (Matt. 28:19). This requires us to reflect theologically outside of our own cultural context. To support this, the Andrews Bibliography of Ethnic Minority Scholarship in Theology (abest.andrews.edu) will help you locate academic resources in the fields of biblical, theological, and pastoral studies by Asian, Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous authors. ABEST has been created by the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary in partnership with Lilly Endowment Inc.
