Bit-by-Bit Exposition

by Greg Gilbert

There are lots of people out there playing with Wordle, a program that creates "word clouds" out of large sections of text, giving prominence to the words that are used more often.  Endless fun to be had with this. (HTJT)

Here's the entire ESV Bible.

The Psalms.

The ESV New Testament.

The Psalms in Hebrew.

Several different books of the NT.

The wordles of the different NT books are really interesting, because they manage to nail pretty well what the main point of most of those books is.

So what would you guess stands out in every single one of the gospels?  "Jesus said."

Romans?  "God Christ law righteousness through faith."  Really.  No kidding.  Righteousness through faith!

1 Corinthians?  "God Christ body brothers." (It's mostly about the church.)

Hebrews?  "God made covenant through blood high priest."  No, seriously.  It's that good!

Anything to be learned here?  Eh, probably not much.  Just, well, that this crazy little computer program is alot closer to preaching an expositional sermon than......nah, never mind.
