The charts
Six charts of the Bible's shape: its cross-references, its people, its library of books, and who is named most, book by book and age by age.
The charts stand on the Bookshelf under Charts, and in the menu's Charts column. Each carries a faint Scrollwork watermark.
Cross-references
Every cross-reference in the Bible, drawn as an arc from chapter to chapter.
- Votes sets how many readers must have found a cross-reference useful before it is drawn; What are votes? explains it.
- Point at a book's name to light its arcs. Choose a chapter to see its ten strongest partners, each opening a small reader.
- Follow Jesus lights the chapters where He appears, in gold.
- Each book has a card with More info, which opens its Drawer.
- On a phone: Find a book, then the list.
