Possible ways to search:
If you were wanting a practical way to teach 5th graders about God, you would probably want to look in the Education databases for the teaching techniques and then apply those to your topic about God. However, if you wanted to know about a general Christian Education topic like trends in youth ministry, you would want to look for that in CPI, ATLA, or some of the multi-disciplinary databases. In other words, the nature of your search, dictates what databases and disciplines you will use.
