Writing Faith:

Christians were early adopters of the codex for their sacred scriptures. In Writing Faith, Timothy Stanley investigates the question concerning the mediatic nature of Christianity and the relationship between writing and faith. It is in this light that the codex’s cosmopolitan capacity for transmitting the written word can be re-evaluated in its scrolled Greco-Roman and Jewish bibliographic contexts. Christian faith is bound up in this technical development, and can inform how religious mediation is understood after Derrida. Writing Faith,/i> aims to recover vital questions for today’s digital times.
