Described as the first hyperlinked text, the Bible has long been considered a foundational artifact of Western thought and culture. Curated, analyzed, and translated for centuries, it has survived even its most ardent detractors. For its adherents and adversaries alike, the Bible is widely recognized for its literary authority and compelling narrative architecture.
This interactive visualization explores the Bible's intricate web of cross-references, suggesting that the recurring themes, characters, places, and imagery of the Bible contribute fundamentally to the richness and complexity of the text.
