visualizing the Bible

Here is a beautiful depiction of Bible cross references by Chris Harrison and Christoph Römhild, a Lutheran pastor.

The bar graph along the bottom shows each chapter in the Bible (the bar length shows the length of each chapter). The white/gray colors above the bar show each respective book of the Bible. The color of each arc shows the distance between the connecting chapters.

In total, there are 63,779 cross references!

"And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them."

-- 2 Kings 2:23-24
