Compendium Computational Theology

Authors

Christopher A. Nunn; Frederike van Oorschot

Computational Theology describes computer-based approaches to the study of theological issues. These are currently only sporadically used and are being refined and brought together for the first time in this work. The Compendium of Computational Theology, initially planned as a two-volume work, offers a well-founded introduction to the field, as it is specifically tailored to the needs of theological researchers in the Digital Humanities and constitutes theology as a Digital Humanities discipline.

The Compendium of Computational Theology is also available in German.

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.
