This one-day Open University conference will bring together academics interested in the study of digital sacred text from a wide range of religious traditions, including sociologists, anthropologists, media scholars, computer scientists, historians and digital humanists. We also welcome religious practitioners and publishers engaged in creating digital sacred texts.

We are delighted to announce that the keynote speaker will be Professor Heidi Campbell (Texas A&M University).

Attendance at this event will cost £20. Thanks to generous funding from the AHRC, 30 free places are available for the first delegates to register.
