Two New Bible Visualization Tools

I came across two new online tools that allow you to see visually some helpful data from Scripture.

Bible Word Locator

The first is called the Bible Word Locator, and it comes from OpenBible.info. (These are the same folks who brought us the Bible Geocoding, which we blogged about back in March.) It’s helpful tool that allows you to see in a snapshot where a word occurs throughout the entire Bible. Once you visualize your search, it’s fun to try to figure out the context of the occurrences. Give it a try!

Many Eyes: Word-Tree

The second is a use of the data-visualization site Many Eyes to display as a tree all of the words and phrases following a word. For example, you can quickly see that the most common word following God in Genesis is “said,” which tells you that God did a lot of speaking. Then you can see all of the things that God said. It’s not without its limitations, but it’s a neat way to see similar data grouped together in a helpful way. Check it out.

These two tools are both fun and helpful. Check them out.
