Dr. Larry Poston, Chair of the Department of Religion, and Linda Poston, Dean of Library Services, presented “The Word and Words in the Abrahamic Faiths” at the First International Conference on Information and Religion, Kent State University.

This paper examined the Abrahamic faiths’ characterization of “The Word” in textual form and the implications for the characterization in the culture of modern media. Presenters will examine the prognosis of religious texts in a society accustomed to graphics-based media, media-based literacy, and digital resources.
