So, you’ve seen cross references in the margin, or footnotes, of your Bible. But what would all those look like represented visually? Chris Harrison, a doctoral student at Carnegie Mellon University’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute, has done it. He’s taken the cross reference data and worked out the image below. Beautiful. Amazing. It’s the kind of the thing you can just stare at for ages. He’s also done similar work with Biblical names and places. Go check out the whole Visualizing the Bible page where you can find the entire above mentioned (he’s also got plenty of other interesting visualizations to check out).

Hopefully, this can (really) get us thinking about the interconnectedness of Scripture. Exempli gratia, notice the overarching connection that is Genesis and Revelation. I praise God for individuals using their talents (and technology) in service to the Church. Wow.
