• The Digital and the Divine
• The Australian Bible Society has recently
  produced a copy of the bible in text message
  style and format -- it is designed to be loaded
  on a computer and blue-toothed to a compatible
  cell phone and then broadcast to one's bible
  study or Christian youth group. At first blush,
  this seems like an odd artefact, the first line
  to a joke. But in the "West", there is a long and
  complicated relationship between technology and
  religion. After all, Johannes Gutenberg's
  printing press produced the Bible in the 1450s.
  It was the first book to be thusly mass-produced.
  Today, the largest online genealogical service is
  run by a Christian institution, the Catholic
  church has its own text message service,
  religiously inspired blogs and chat rooms
  flourish in the United States and elsewhere
  around the world. Elsewhere, technology
  manufacturers are catering to the ways in which
  computational devices might support religious
  practices, producing religion-specific
  technologies and experiences.
