This study explores the influence of computer science and mathematical models in biblical interpretation, suggesting new research directions.
This study concerns the impact of computer science on theological research, particularly in biblical exegesis. From the first computer-generated biblical concordance in 1957 to modern text analysis algorithms, technology plays an increasingly significant role in interpreting biblical texts. Mathematical modelling, especially the application of the Hidden Markov Model to the Synoptic Problem, supports the theory of Markan priority. The involvement of informatics and mathematics in theology opens new research avenues, yet the role of theologians remains indispensable in interpretative considerations.
