Sixty-Six Clouds: Word Cloud Bible

This looks like a really interesting tool for reflection for those interested in Biblical theology. The usual disclaimers for the downsides of word frequencies as a guide to theology but ... well, check it out. It's a definite book mark thing. Here's the word cloud for John's gospel:

And then contrast that with, say, Mark, to get a sense of the value of the thing:

Lament Sequence

A potentially helpful blog for visual resources in worship. I'm attracted because of the liturgical nous being shown overall about the way that projected images could be used to assist rather than take-over worship. Lament Sequence: "a sequence of images used in a service based on a psalm of lament."

Writing With Pictures: Consumer Response To Images

I have argued (briefly) elsewhere that some contemporary Christian approaches to visuals in worship are all too often failing to read visual language fairly and consistently with their own standards. So it is important that a set of experiments seem to indicate visuals are in fact read by consumers in consistent ways. "In the experiments, different renditions of the same three image types (a cat, a sunset, and an abstract painting) were consistently read by consumers as texts that communicated a complex set of attributes for a facial tissue. Just by varying the style and context of the objects pictured, the authors were able to selectively communicate particular properties that went beyond resemblance to an object or the sensory effects of formal features. 'We are questioning the tacit assumption made by Mitchell and Olson -- and many others that followed -- that images affect consumers via emotion or sensation rather than through a coded, conventional system,' the authors write."
Hmmm. One in the eye for the naysayers.
