It creates\u00a0fascinating lists of words from a passage or search results that give a visual image of the\u00a0relative emphasis on words in any given group of verses.<\/p>\n<p>In previous posts I have talked about the importance of using cross-referencing during Bible study, and in particular <a title=\"Bible Cross-References\" href=\"http:\/\/www.swordsearcher.com\/blog\/bible-cross-references\/52\/\">how you can do your own cross-referencing<\/a> in SwordSearcher. The Bible Word Cloud Generator is another tool you have to find cross-references in your own personal study, without the need to introduce commentaries or other books into the process.<\/p>\n<p>Since the word cloud images can be saved and copied into word processor documents or PowerPoint presentations, they can also serve as good teaching aids.<\/p>\n<p>At about 4:20 in the video I demonstrate how a word cloud can be used after a Bible search to give you words that are frequently associated with your search terms elsewhere in Scripture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve posted a new video tutorial on using the Bible Word Cloud Generator in SwordSearcher.
