Bible outline

Here is my attempt to show as many of the relations and categories that the different books of the Bible fall into. Instead of using a simple hierarchical graph I simply connected each category to its sub and super sets and connected each book to the one before and after and used Ge-phi to display the network that that created. Sorry this is hard to read I couldn't figure out how to get it to fit full size

A grand idea

I believe there should be a device that looks something like a wall clock, but .for its face has an opening where a long roll of paper with the Bible printed on it is being constantly fed through. This would allow anyone in the room to let there eyes randomly fall on scripture at any time; people in the room could discuss interesting passages that went by as they noticed them. This device should be well designed like a nice clock so that people will be more drawn to it. It would be easy (trivial) to do this electronically as a screen saver, but what would be ideal is if it was actually a scroll printed in one column like one long page that somehow looped so that it would always be scrolling forward, my wife suggested a mobius loop which seems like a good idea but i still cant quite visualize how to roll up part of a loop to keep the object compact.

The Lord's Prayer

This is a new project I am working on illuminating the Lord's Prayer with various scriptures that relate to each word, check it out here over at "Prezi". Prezi is a zooming presentation maker that allows me to actually place the other Bible texts inside the letters of the Lord's prayer. I feel that this project could be done better than I am doing it so if you want to try feel free to make a copy of it and improve it (right on the prezi sight). It is not currently finished (right now I have only finished "Our" "Father" and "Heaven") but you can check on my progress at that same link as I go, I will be posting updates and thoughts on the various passages and concepts as I go. It's interesting how a gimmick like this prezi tool makes this project so much more interesting to me than it would be other wise.

Full illustrated Bible Map

This is the whole thing together so that you can see what I've been going on about. I have it printed off on my living room wall under that one singularly most popular picture of Jesus. If you want to print it off yourself, I'd say to print each of the four pieces on a piece of paper and piece them together. I think all the pictures are public domain, but I'm sure that I'm wrong about some of them since I couldn't find where they came from originally. in the future I'll post a list of what each picture is and where it came from.

Map of the Bible

This is a map of the Bible similar to XKCD's Map of the internet. The colored line runs from the top left to the top right. (Genesis is the red section at the top left and Revelation is the last section on the top right, each different colored section is a different book) The line follows a Hilbert curve which keeps sections that are consecutive together. The thickest border separates the Old and New testaments. The thinner separations divide the seven major sections of the Bible: Law, History, Poetry, Major Prophets, Minor Prophets, NT History, and Epistles. The thinnest lines separate the epistles into: Paul's letters to churches, Paul's pastoral letters, Hebrews, The general epistles, and Revelation. Thanks to the Bible wheel site for the divisions.
