* What makes a scared text - what the different religions call 'scripture'
* the lives of the ancient scribes and the rituals governing their work
* revelation, reception and transmission of the holy word
* materials and methods: from papyrus and palm leaves to printing
* language, mantra and sacred sound
Combining an authoritative aurvey with a unique perspective on the transforming power of the spoken word, this lively and engaging text is essential reading for students, academics and anyone interested in the world religions.
