Back in January, at the Relay 2 conference, we studied Isaiah chapters 1-6. I was blown away by it.
And I just came across Wordle. A wordle is a ‘word cloud’ that gives greater prominence to the words that appear most frequently in a text. My friend Mark did one of the book of Proverbs and I wondered what it would be like for Isaiah 1-6. I smiled when I saw the result, although I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised. Once again I was reminded of how much bigger the Lord is than us people.

If you remember back to the team day we had when we went through the whole of John, Jason suggested running John through which I did over the lunch time. Really interesting – you almost get a summary. you do have to remember to remove the common words like ‘the’ though or the results are a bit weird. Do you think anyone has run the whole Bible through in one go?
‘Lord’ is indeed massive! Great way of highlighting the relative importance of the word in the passage.
James: Yes, someone has done the whole Bible – see http://www.wordle.net/show/ESV_Bible

Maybe his earring works like a dream catcher but for intelligent conversation?
