Word Analysis of Bible
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Aschlafly (talk | contribs) at 17:15, August 10, 2009. It may differ significantly from current revision.
A word analysis of the Bible utilizes a concordance or an online search engine to study and understand the Bible by learning the words it uses and does not use.
For example, the most common word in the Bible is "Lord", which is used with even greater frequency than "God".
Many insights are gained by reviewing what terms appear, and which what frequency, in the Bible. Recognition that certain words are not used is also enlightening. For example, the word "Exodus" is not used even once in the Old Testament. It appears only once in the New Testament, in the Book of Hebrews.
