Timothy Stanley draws our attention to an aspect of religion that is widely overlooked: whenever reading the Bible is central to religion, both the individual’s interior states and their community’s ability to form itself as an entity in the world depend upon the publication, manufacture, distribution, reception, and survival of printed materials. This means that a material information culture has to be included in the way that the concept of 'religion' is theorized. In sustained debate with Kant, Habermas, and especially Derrida, Printing Religion after Enlightenment clarifies the dialectical relationship between the faith of the private individual and the materiality of the public sphere—without giving up either one.
