The origins of this volume can be traced back to a symposium held at Dublin City University on the 6th September 2017. Using the digital turn as a starting point, the symposium focused on how and why materiality should be a more significant component of our reflection on the sacred texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The symposium was part of a larger project (From Scrolls to Scrolling: Sacred Texts, Materiality, and Dynamic Media Cultures) that was funded by the Irish Research Council New Foundations Scheme, and I am immensely grateful to the Research Council for their support. This project included collaboration with colleagues from the University of Heidelberg and the Material Text Cultures research project; I offer sincere thanks to Professor Jan Christian Gertz, Dr Friederike Schcking-Jungblut, and Dr Anna Krau for the hospitality that was shown during a research visit to Heidelberg. Further financial and administrative support for the symposium came from the DCU School of Theology, Philosophy, and Music, and special thanks are due to Dr Ethna Regan, Dr Garrick Allen, and Dr Jonathan Kearney for their support and encouragement. Additional financial support for the publication of this volume was provided by the DCU Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, for which I am very grateful.
I want to thank all of the contributors for their fine scholarship and research, as well as their patience and collegiality during the process. Finally, I offer a special note of thanks to the JCIT editors, as well as Sophie Wagenhofer at de Gruyter, for their encouragement and support in bringing this project to publication.

Materiality, Liminality, and the Digital Turn: The Sacred Texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in Material Perspective
[Writing] is a maiden with a pen, a harlot in print.
Filippo de Strata
The above quotation comes from a fifteenth century Benedictine monk who was not particularly happy with the rise of print culture a sentiment I suspect he shared with many contemporaries. Technological developments have a long history of disrupting society and culture, and changes to how texts have been produced and transmitted through the centuries have been a large part of such developments. Indeed, from scroll to codex, from manuscript to moveable print, and from book culture to digital contexts, these changes have been monumental in shaping how people communicate.
It is not surprising that sacred texts have been at the heart of many such developments; and yet, the relationship between sacred texts and the material forms in which they are embodied is a complicated one in many traditions. The traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam often describe their respective sacred texts as timeless indeed, divine messages. An implication of this timelessness is that within these traditions, focus has been placed primarily on the content of these texts, while issues of materiality have often been taken for granted. From this perspective, scrolls, books, and digital devices are simply receptacles in which the text is housed. However, such thinking masks the fact that these texts are always embodied in particular material forms, which emerge in specific times and places, and such embodiment necessarily has implications for the use and reception of these texts.
It is often during times of change that the materiality of objects becomes apparent, and we are living through such a moment. In doing so, these essays seek to resituate materiality, along with transitions between media forms, as significant for the academic study of sacred texts within and between these religious traditions.
Four key areas are highlighted in this volume. First, the essays give sustained attention to the diverse ways in which materiality has impacted the production and use of sacred texts in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam down through the centuries. From antiquity, those studying the Tanakh, the Bible, and the Quran have focused their attention almost exclusively on proper understanding and interpretation of these collections. This is understandable; after all, it is the content of these writings that has most interested readers down through the centuries. As noted above, this has resulted in widespread understanding within these traditions of an abstract, disembodied message, with little thought given to the materiality of such texts. Perhaps unwittingly, these same presumptions have carried over into the academic study of these textual traditions, where the semantic dimension the content and its interpretation has received the vast majority of scholarly attention.
