Purpose of Interactive Chart
Bible's Inspiration
The purpose of this chart is to help display the "Interdependence" of the New and Old Testaments. A key characteristic of the Bible being one, unified inspired text, is how interwoven the New Testament is with Old Testament quotations, references and allusions. The Bible is cohesive, unified, and documents God's relationship with His creation.
Interact and Explore
As an interactive visualization, you can highlight the interconnections between the testaments, and see where and how the Old Testament references are interwoven into the New Testament's message.
The full chart illuminates the interwoven nature of the Bible, but you can also explore each book's connections to the opposite testament. Choose a New Testament book to see how many Old Testament books are referenced, or choose an Old Testament book to see how many New Testament books utilize its passages.
