The digital revolution has fundamentally transformed how we encounter and study sacred texts that have shaped spiritual traditions for millennia. This scholarly exploration examines the profound implications of moving ancient biblical, Jewish, and Christian manuscripts from physical libraries into digital spaces where new forms of engagement become possible.
