Introducing Digital Humanities to Theology

After a detailed conceptual history of Computational Humanities and Computational Theology, volume 1 offers an introduction to the diverse research practices in the Digital Humanities. Well-known figures from the Digital Humanities community shed light on the different objects of investigation in this field (text – image – audio – video), before looking at different possibilities of analysis using the medium of "text" as an example. However, the new methods are also accompanied by new dissemination practices. A detailed section is therefore devoted to these. 

The volume is also available in a German-language version https://doi.org/10.11588/heibooks.1459.

Christopher Nunn is a research assistant in the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Theology in Heidelberg. In January 2023, he received his Dr. theol. for a dissertation on Augustine’s letters to women. Since 2020, he has been head of the TheoLab, a research network for computational theology founded in Heidelberg. He is one of the two founders of the Interdisciplinary Forum of Digital Textual Sciences (InFoDiTex) and is deputy chief editor of the DARIAH metablog “OpenMethods”. His research interests include late antique epistolography, patristic ethics, intertextuality, digital stylometry and philosophy of science.

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.
