Cross References

Every arc below represents a cross-reference between two passages in the Bible. Forty authors. Fifteen hundred years. Three continents. Three languages. Thousands of passages written across generations, yet connected by a remarkable network of references, quotations, themes, and shared ideas. This visualization brings those connections together in one place. The books of the Bible are arranged in order from Genesis to Revelation, with each passage positioned along the timeline of the biblical text. Every arc connects two passages that reference one another. Some connections are close together within the same book. Others stretch across dozens of books and hundreds of years.
