TCA is officially tired.

The Crazy Australian

The Wordle New Testament

June 19th, 2008 by hayesy

Update: Lots of link-love this morning. If you’re new, welcome! I should say that the real innovators of this are these cool cats: Michelle, Dave, MPJ, JMoff, Doug, JMoff again and Sam - they are the original wordlers.

After Wordling John, the entire New Testament (all 175,743 words of the ESV) seemed the logical next step. Click for full-sized image:

Full Text of ESV New Testament, Wordled

Someone should do a greek New Testament so I know which words to learn.

    You beat me too it!
    Very interesting though - notice how God, Jesus, Christ, Lord are MASSIVE and Spirit is way smaller…

    Interesting! I didn’t notice that. Mind you, I think ’spirit’ is bigger than it would be if you were to do a wordle of all words said in evangelical churches these days. (Then again, so would Jesus and God…)
    The difference is less noticeable if you omit the 4 gospels, but there is still a difference…

    Do one for Pauline Epistles only, Haysey.

  11. hayesy

    Hahaha do I look like a clerk? :P

    I must be mad! Without Hebrews:

    Including Hebrews:

    The four gospels:

    The four gospels and Acts:

    James through revelation:

    That ought to just about cover it. Any more requests? If anyone wants me to email them the text of the New Testament so they can come up with their own crazy books (Pauline Epistles + Mark + Jude, anyone?), just use the contact button up the top.

    Time to put through the text of the <b>entire</b> bible? Old and New Testaments?…

    How hard would it to do your whole blog?

    How hard is it to write a coherent sentence?
    Obviously tough for me! Hehe!

    the whole blog.. you could just do it with a cloud plugin i suppose. But getting all text from a whole blog would need a new plugin to be invented :)

    I set my settings to show 200 posts on a page; here is the TCA wordle (not including comments):

    ‘hayesy’ is so big because it’s on every post. Wish I could work out how to include comments…

    I’ve written over 30,000 words this year! And a large proportion of them have been the word ‘good’…

    CJ, watch the ESV blog in the near future.

  19. Craig

    Man, you got linked by the ESV blog and also JT. Your hits are going to go through the roof today…

    but I can’t right-click on the image to save it, do you know how to do that?

  22. hayesy

    Looks nice!
    Take a screenshot of it, paste into your favourite image editing program, resize if you want, save.

  23. Leslie

    yeah thanks, i figured it out. I need to save it as a pdf (i’m on a mac), then save as a jpeg
