Blogos: "The New Testament Hyper-concordance
This began as a programming exercise try some corpus linguistics techniques with the Open Scripture Information Standard, a recent XML standard for encoding Bible texts. I wanted to see what i could learn from more thoroughly connecting the words of Scripture together. You can jump right in and explore through the index: this article provides background about what, why, and how.

What's a 'hyper-concordance'?

The basic idea is to navigate the space of Scripture directly using words. Most Scripture websites have a search box where you enter a word to find verses that use that word. For example, searching the English Standard Version New Testament for the word 'pots' finds two verses, Mark 7:4 and Revelation 2:27 (you need to use the advanced search and select 'Exact matches only'). From the standpoint of connecting information, this provides a link from a single word to one or more verses of Scripture. "
