Visualizing the Bible


All 1189 chapters of the Bible as a bar graph with the length of each bar proportional to the number of verses in the chapter. Above this, arcs represent 63,779 cross references between chapters; different colors denote varying distances between connected chapters. Created by Chris Harrison of Carnegie Mellon University and Christoph Römhild of North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church.

The image received honorable mention in the 2008 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge. The winning images were published by New Scientist Magazine.
