Index theologicus (IxTheo):  a major index to the periodical literature and to articles published in essay collections, with subject headings in both German and English. From the Universitätsbibliothek Tübingen.  Captures permanently what appears initially in ZID Theologie, below.  "Period under review" (number of records by year of publication) here.  But the print original (Zeitschriftenihaltdienst Theologie) reaches as far back as 1975.

ZID (Zeitschrifteninhaltsdienst) Theologie:  tables of contents to recent journal issues and essay collections from around the world, with article-level subject headings in both German and English.  Browse alphabetically by title, or search using the "Find" feature on your browser.  Covers roughly the period between publication and appearance in the ATLA Religion Database (not to mention many titles never indexed therein), as follows:  records added on the 10th of the current month (Aktuelle Ausgabe), the previous month (Vormonat), and the month before that (Drittletzter Monat); and records added at about 8:20 p.m. on the previous day (Vortag), the day before that (Vorletzter Tag), and the day before that (Drittletzter Tag).  Records more than three months old disappear into the database Index theologicus, above.
