Excel List

I looked one day at my Zotero and I noticed I had 200+ articles and books on the topic.

Therefore, I decided to create a nice Excel document with all these readings, and to make it more easily searchable I also added some filtering options.

Different excel sheets also include research centers and journals interested in Digital Religion
