The seventh volume, /Mediality/Theology/Religion/, of the 
/Internationale Jahrbuch für Medienphilosophie/, is dedicated to the 
relations between media studies, theology, and religious studies. The 
collected texts assume that thinking digital technology is permeated 
with religious or theological concepts and loaded with religious 
sentiments and presumptions; for instance, assuming either an 
omniscience or omniscopic and epistopic overview over the realities of 
everyday life. While in media studies theological questions are mostly 
neglected, in theology or religious studies media is predominantly 
addressed in terms of mass media transmitting religious services, cults, 
rites, or practices. Here, we aspire to introduce another approach: a 
media-philosophical perspective, addressing, for example, the importance 
of the processes of mediation at the core of religious studies and 
theology. This volume offers specific reflections on methodologies, 
objects, and theories that suggest and emphasize intricate relations 
between these respective fields.
