The KJV on Wordle

June 28, 2008 · 0 comments

I was play­ing around on Wordle ear­lier, and I came up with this using the com­plete text (includ­ing pref­ace and chap­ter head­ings) of the King James Bible. Click the image for a larger view:

The 500 most used words are visu­al­ized, and I love how appar­ent it becomes, using this visu­al­iza­tion, that the mes­sage of the Bible is between the Lord God and His peo­ple. I also appre­ci­ated this par­tic­u­lar visu­al­iza­tion due to the sym­bol­ogy of the Lord being the cor­ner­stone thereof.

It’d be inter­est­ing to see how dif­fer­ent Bible ver­sions affect the visu­al­iza­tion. I may have to exper­i­ment with that some­time, but if any­one beats me to it, let me know.
