Introduction: the Dissemination of the Digital Humanities within Research on Biblical, Early Jewish and Christian Studies

This third volume of Digital Biblical Studies (DBS) represents a turning point in the birth of the series, as well as in the dissemination of the Digital Humanities within “Biblical, Early Jewish and Christian Studies”. The title acknowledges the three research groups devoted, since 2012 and 2013, to the Digital Humanities at the annual meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL), the inter-national SBL (ISBL), and the European Association of Biblical Studies (EABS). Our introduction will comment on the development of the Digital Humanities and offer a preview of the contents of this volume.
