It's always interesting to look at something from another angle and the Bible, with its layers and depths of meaning, always has more to reveal. This is the first in a new project to illustrate the books of the Bible, chapter-by-chapter, as a 'wordle', highlighting the most often used words to give another angle into what it's all about. We're starting at the beginning with Genesis, chapter one. Let us know below what insights you find...

This image was constructed using all the words contained in chapter 1 of Genesis, based on the New International Version text. The most used words are shown as the largest, with the less used shown progressively smaller. Commonly used words - such as 'the' or 'a' - have been omitted. Created at www.wordle.net.
