Introducing Theology to Digital Humanities

The Compendium Computational Theology offers orientation at the interface of Theology and Digital Humanities. Vol. 1 contains an overview of the objects, analytical tools and scientific practices of Digital Humanities. Vol. 2 reflects on how DH applications can be usefully applied in theological disciplines in academic research and teaching.

The volume is also available in a German-language version https://doi.org/10.11588/heibooks.1715

Frederike van Oorschot is head of the "Religion, Law and Culture" department at the interdisciplinary research institute FEST in Heidelberg and lecturer in systematic theology at Heidelberg University. Since 2020, she has been head of the TheoLab, a research network for computational theology founded in Heidelberg. She is co-editor of the theological open access journal “cursor”, the magazine “Chrismon” and founder of the online encyclopedia “SysLex”. Her research covers digital theology, public theology and theological hermeneutics.

Christopher Nunn is a research assistant in the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Theology at Heidelberg University. In January 2023, he received his doctorate in ancient church history with a thesis on Augustine’s letters to women. Since 2020, he has been co-director of TheoLab, a research network for computational theology founded in Heidelberg, alongside Frederike van Oorschot.  He is also one of the founders of the Interdisciplinary Forum of Digital Textual Sciences (InFoDiTex). His research focuses on late antique epistolography, cognitive semantics, and the application and reflection of computational methods in theology in general and church history in particular.
