Current digital transformations of information technology have
given rise to an explosion of scholarly interest in the history of
the book. Although this research has focused predominantly on the
rise of movable type after Gutenberg, the
second-to-fifth-century-CE transition from scroll to codex warrants
renewed attention. Here, a peculiar footnote comes to the fore:
Christians were early adopters of the codex for their sacred
scriptures. In Writing Faith, Timothy Stanley begins with a novel
investigation into Jacques Derrida's unanswered question concerning
the mediatic nature of Christianity. There, the relationship
between writing and faith comes into sharper focus. 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 aims to recover vital
questions for today's digital times.
