Throughout history the study of sacred texts has focused almost exclusively on the content and meaning of these writings. Such a focus obscures the fact that sacred texts are always embodied in particular material forms-from ancient scrolls to contemporary electronic devices. Using the digital turn as a starting point this volume highlights material dimensions of the sacred texts of Judaism Christianity and Islam. The essays in this collection investigate how material aspects have shaped the production and use of these texts within and between the traditions of Judaism Christianity and Islam from antiquity to the present day. Contributors also reflect on the implications of transitions between varied material forms and media cultures. Taken together the essays suggests that materiality is significant for the academic study of sacred texts as well as for reflection on developments within and between these religious traditions. This volume offers insightful analysis on key issues related to the materiality of sacred texts in the traditions of Judaism Christianity and Islam while also highlighting the significance of transitions between various material forms including the current shift to digital culture.
