Postscripts: The Journal of Sacred Texts, Cultural Histories, and Contemporary Contexts

About the Journal

This journal is devoted to the academic study of scripture around the globe and is the official journal of SCRIPT, the Society for Comparative Research on Iconic and Performative Texts. It deals with the rich panoply of engagements with texts that are foundational in the lives of individuals and communities around the world -- texts that travel under the name of 'scripture' or 'sacred' text. It aims to open up the discussion of sacred texts by crossing traditional boundaries, bringing different disciplinary tools to the process of analysis, and opening up a sustained dialogue between and among scholars and others who are interested in religion, textuality, media and mediation and the contemporary world.
