Over the past 30 years the Bible has gone digital. This transition from paper technology to digital technology has attracted the interest of scholars because such a change has consequences for how the Bible is used and could lead to differences in how it is understood. Many are claiming that a digital Bible will result in a less stable Bible (; ; , pp. 189-190; , pp. 20-23; ; ), due to the peritext (the physical aspect of the text) of this new reading technology. However, I argue that this claim does not sufficiently take into account the Bible's epitext (the nonphysical aspect of the text), through which evangelical Christians engage the scriptures. Ultimately, I argue that the epitext will limit the destabilising effect of the digital peritext.
