Super Geeky Bible Explorer

Super Geeky Bible Explorer is not a game. It is an extremely insightful research and study tool that allows you to explore the words, phrases and patterns in your Bible at your own pace.

So many visualizations and features!

There are dozens of interactive visualizations, charts, tables, network graphs, filters, and more that you can dig into. It will take you quite a while to browse through and discover all the features!

General design

By default, the app will use all text in the Bible version you have selected on Total Bible. However, you can filter the Bible text by using the Global Bible Filters, so that all visualizations and calculations only use that filtered text. There is an extra temporary search box in the header that you can use as well that gets applied after the Global Bible Filters. In addition, each visualization usually offers tools to further filter or refine data used in the visualization.

The home page shows a list of all possible visualizations available. You can select one there, as well as change the visualizations using the drop-down list and/or arrows in the header.

Each visualization follows a similar design where the settings are usually at the top and the visuals, charts, and tables are below them. Most visualizations will show you even more information when you hover over an item or click an item.

Available visualizations

2. Shared Phrase Chords - Connects books with ribbons whose widths represent the number of distinct phrases they share. Set Words per phrase, choose which books to show, and select a ribbon to explore its shared phrases or a book to isolate its connections.
3. Word Transition Flow - Shows the words immediately before and after a root word or phrase, with thicker bands representing more occurrences. Enter a root, select a neighboring word to make it the new root, or use its + button to extend your phrase in that direction.
4. Phrase Explorer - Displays phrases as a sunburst, with one word per ring and wider arcs representing more occurrences. Set Words per phrase, enter an optional Starting phrase, and select arcs to follow continuations; use the breadcrumbs to move back.
5. Statistics Explorer - Breaks down your selected text into counts of books, chapters, verses, words and letters, including unique words and letters. Choose a grouping and statistic, sort the table, and select an item to explore its contents in more detail.
6. Double Word Tree - Branches outward from a root word or phrase to show the phrases that precede and follow it within verses. Enter a root, adjust Direction, Branch depth and Branches at root, and select a branch word to begin exploring from that word.
7. Word Occurrence Barcode - Represents verses as marks in Bible order, with brighter marks indicating more occurrences of words matching your output filter. Enter text in Filter output, choose whether to show all verses, matching books or matching verses, and select a mark to inspect its verse.
8. Book Size Atlas - Displays books, chapters and verses as tiles whose areas represent your chosen measure, such as words, verses or letters. Select book and chapter tiles to move deeper, adjust Nested Level to reveal smaller divisions, and use the breadcrumbs to return.
9. Vocabulary Growth Curve - Traces the cumulative number of distinct words encountered as your selected text progresses in Bible order. Choose book, chapter or verse checkpoints, switch the horizontal axis between words and verses, and inspect a checkpoint to see its totals and newly encountered words.
10. Shared Vocabulary Matrix - Compares pairs of books in a grid, coloring each square by their vocabulary overlap percentage or number of shared distinct words. Choose Color by and select a square to examine the shared words for that pair.
11. Vocabulary Fingerprints - Creates radar charts that compare the frequencies of selected words or phrases across testaments, books or chapters, using the same scale for every chart. Enter comma-separated comparison terms or choose a preset, switch between occurrences and rates per 1,000 words, and enlarge an item or overlay the charts to compare their shapes.
12. Beginnings & Endings - Uses opposing bars to compare how often words appear at the beginning and end of verses. Change the sorting or word-length filters, then select a beginning or ending bar to read the corresponding verses.
13. Chapter Landscape - Arranges chapters in a heatmap, with books as rows, chapter numbers as columns and color representing the selected measure. Change Color represents, point to a chapter to inspect its counts, and select it or use View verses to explore further.
14. Verse Length Distribution - Shows ridgelines describing verse lengths in words or letters, grouped by testament, book or chapter. Choose a measure and grouping, select a group label to explore it, or select a position along a ridge to read verses of that length.
15. Extremes Explorer - Plots items by their word, letter or unique-word counts and lists the shortest and longest items, including ties. Choose a grouping and measure, adjust the number of items listed, and select a dot or table entry to inspect it.
16. Vocabulary Turnover - Compares neighboring selected passages, showing distinct words found only in the earlier passage, only in the later passage or in both. Group by book, chapter or verse, then inspect a transition to see its counts, overlap and example words.
17. Concordance Lens - Lists matching words with the surrounding text from their original verses, alongside summaries of neighboring words and matches by book. Use Filter output to choose matches, adjust Context words and Word position in verse, then select a row to inspect the verse.
18. Word Frequency Ladder - Ranks words by their occurrences or the number of verses, testaments or books containing them. Choose Rank by, narrow the output with word-length or text filters, and select a word to explore its statistics and matching verses.
19. Rare Word Observatory - Plots words by their first appearance in the selected text and their character length, with dot size indicating occurrences. Adjust the occurrence and character ranges to find words of interest, then inspect a dot or table entry to explore that word.
20. Word Comparison Studio - Shows how selected words or phrases vary across testaments, books or chapters, with band thickness representing occurrences or rates per 1,000 words. Enter comma-separated comparison terms or choose a preset, select your grouping and values, and select a band for details.
21. Word Co-occurrence Network - Connects words that appear in the same verse, with stronger connections indicating more shared verses. Adjust the word count and shared-verse range, select a word to focus on its connections, or select a connection to read verses containing both words.
22. Repeated Text Finder - Finds exact repeated verses and repeated passages made from consecutive verses within a chapter. Choose Verses per passage and an occurrence range, then select a repeated text or appearance count to inspect its locations. Matching preserves punctuation and normalizes whitespace.
23. Text Similarity Map - Places books on an approximate two-dimensional map based on their measured vocabulary overlap, bringing books with more overlapping vocabulary closer together. Select a book to compare its neighbors, then choose a book pair in the table to examine their shared words.
24. Letter & Character Atlas - Displays characters as bubbles whose areas represent their occurrence counts. Choose letters, digits, punctuation or all non-space characters, adjust the occurrence range and case setting, and select a bubble to inspect its details and matching verses.
25. Letter Pair Matrix - Shows how often one letter immediately follows another within a word, with rows representing the first letter and columns the next. Adjust Letters shown, occurrence limits or case matching, then select a cell to inspect that pair and its matching verses.
26. Numbers in the Text - Plots the locations of digit sequences written as numerals across your selected text, preserving decimal and thousands separators as written. Adjust the occurrence and digit-length ranges, then select a sequence to inspect its counts and verse locations.
27. Punctuation Fingerprints - Compares punctuation patterns across testaments, books or chapters, with one line per item and a separate axis for each punctuation category. Choose a grouping and switch between occurrences and rates per 1,000 non-space characters, then point to a line or table row to inspect it. Each punctuation axis uses its own scale.
28. Word Length Distribution - Groups words by character length in a rose chart, with petal area representing either distinct words or total occurrences. Choose the measure and select a petal to list words of that length, then select a word to explore its details.
