Additional Bible Visualizations

I always keep an eye out for visualizations, and here is a visualization describing how people share passages in the Bible.

The left axis shows the number of verses shared (log-axis), naturally it would appear the people mostly share one verse.  The bottom axis shows what verse of the bible was used (I assume its all in verse order).

Very cool how Psalms has a big spike of (~6) verses shared.

Bible Sentiment Analysis

I will from time to time post other links from websites that I think are relevant to “Jesus” and “Data”. I have read over some of the fine print and yes it would appear that some of the passages might not be truly ‘negative’ at times.

Below is the chronological display of the bible  brought to you by OpenBible.info.  Their website’s content is fantastic.  Please check out many of their other pages.

Sentiment analysis basically tries to algorithmically determine if a section of text is “good” or “bad.”  According to Wikipedia, It’s also called “opinion mining” which I like the sound of that a little better, probably because I can actually spell “opinion” whereas I always get a wavy red line when I try to spell “sentiment.”
