Rob Jacklin"This set of visualizations started as a collaboration between Christoph Römhild and myself. Christoph, a Lutheran Pastor, first emailed me in October of 2007. He described a data set he was putting together that defined textual cross references found in the Bible. He had already done considerable work visualizing the data before contacting me. Together, we struggled to find an elegant solution to render the data, more than 63,000 cross references in total. As work progressed, it became clear that an interactive visualization would be needed to properly explore the data, where users could zoom in and prune down the information to manageable levels. However, this was less interesting to us, as several Bible-exploration programs existed that offered similar functionality (and much more). Instead we set our sights on the other end of the spectrum –- something more beautiful than functional. At the same time, we wanted something that honored and revealed the complexity of the data at every level –- as one leans in, smaller details should become visible. This ultimately led us to the multi-colored arc diagram you see below.
The bar graph that runs along the bottom represents all of the chapters in the Bible. Books alternate in color between white and light gray. The length of each bar denotes the number of verses in the chapter. Each of the 63,779 cross references found in the Bible is depicted by a single arc - the color corresponds to the distance between the two chapters, creating a rainbow-like effect.

yc cChris Harrison at Carnegie Mellon has produced several spectacular visualizations using Bible data.
First, he created a visualization of cross references in the Bible, showing off the many interconnections between chapters in the Bible. Credit goes to Christoph Römhild for the cross-reference data.
Second, he developed a social-network diagram that reflects co-occurrences of names in Bible verses. Though he doesn’t disambiguate between different people with the same name, it’s still fascinating to look at.
Third, he made a visual distribution graph of names in the Bible. -

Jean MarrapodiBeautiful graphic representation of complex data. This is a rainbow-like image of the cross references in the Bible. A cross reference is when one concept connects a phrase or idea with another place in the Bible.
