Summary

Read by students, scholars, critics, and the curious for millennia, the Holy Bible is the most translated, most widely published, and most examined text in history. Unfortunately, the information in Scripture largely has remained unstructured and not easily parsed, examined, processed, or enriched with modern technology.

Want to create a graph database and identify how many descendants of Aaron are named in the Bible or how many generations are named between Adam and King David? Want to run a query to discover how many years it was between the Flood and the creation of Solomon's temple? Need a list of all the Biblical events that occurred at a specific geographic location? Structured data makes all of these (and more!) possible.

About this dataset

The Holy Bible, a revered text studied by students, scholars, critics, and the curious for centuries, encompasses a rich tapestry of stories featuring numerous individuals. The BibleData-PersonVerseTanakh dataset provides an extensive collection of information about these individuals mentioned in each chapter and verse across the entire Bible. It offers unique identifiers (corresponding to the BibleData-Person and BibleData-PersonLabel datasets) alongside valuable notes for study and verification purposes. Each individual's entry includes their specific label, denoting their distinct identification within the Bible's narrative.

One vital aspect of this dataset is the person_label_count column, which quantifies the frequency with which an individual is referenced throughout the entirety of the Bible. This numerical value presents an insightful metric to gauge significant figures or recurring characters present in biblical narratives.

Furthermore, the dataset also encompasses a wealth of detailed annotations provided under the person_verse_notes column. These notes offer additional contextual information related to each individual mentioned in respective verses throughout various chapters. Researchers and enthusiasts can delve into these annotations for deeper comprehension or clarification surrounding specific biblical characters.

For easier reference and cross-referencing purposes, an essential attribute is presented through the person_verse_sequence column. This field not only identifies chapter and verse references but consolidates them into concise textual representations aligned with each particular individual's mention within scripture.

The comprehensive nature of this dataset ensures coverage across all books within both Testaments (Genesis 1:1—Malachi 4:6) as per its last update on June 24th, 2023. While it currently stands as a complete resource capturing every persona from biblical texts accurately so far discovered until that date; it remains open for edits or corrections if any discrepancies are identified in its data integrity.

Envisioned as a fundamental tool for rigorous academic study or personal exploration alike—the data provided here brilliantly complements the immense historical and spiritual significance carried by the Holy Bible

Understanding the Columns

This dataset contains several columns that provide important information about the individuals mentioned in the Bible. Here's a breakdown of each column:

• person_label: This column contains a unique identifier for each individual mentioned in the Bible. It is a text-based label that can be used to reference specific individuals throughout your analysis.

• person_label_count: This column indicates how many times each individual is mentioned in the Bible. It is an integer value that can help you understand their significance or prominence within biblical texts.

The statistic shows the impact of the Bible on the behavior of people who read it monthly in the United States as of February 2019. At the time of survey, 22 percent of respondents who read the Bible at least monthly very strongly agreed that they were more willing to engage in their faith, while 13 percent stated that reading the Bible made them more generous with their time, energy or financial resources.

A survey from 2021 found that 11 percent of Americans read the Bible daily. Trends in reading habits over four years showed that the majority of Americans never read the Bible, however in 2021 this number dropped to 29 percent of respondents. Bible readership demographics Bible readership varies across each demographic, with Millennials most likely to have never read the Bible, whereas the most frequent readers were those aged over 70 years old. Looking at the preferences of the older readers, traditional books were favored, with 91 percent opting for a print version of the Bible to read over other formats.

Although figures show that fewer people are reading the Bible, there is still a genuine desire to read the Bible amongst the American population, with 56 percent of those asked in 2019 expressing a wish to read it. Changes in attitudes have not been drastic, but rather it seems that disengagement with the Christian scripture has been a gradual process. Why are fewer people reading the Bible? Certainly, it is no small undertaking, as with approximately 1,200 pages the Bible is of comparable length to the popular epic ‘Lord of the Rings’ series by J.R.R. Tolkien. Other possible frustrations with the Bible and reasons for disengagement could come from complexities in language or simply not knowing when to use it. However, despite these challenges in reading the text, a significant proportion of the U.S. population consider their belief in God to be compatible with the representation in the Bible.

Despite the average daily time spent reading per capita in the United States decreasing in recent years, the average amount of time spent reading the Bible has remained stable. A survey showed that 23 percent of U.S. adults reported spending one hour of more with the bible in each sitting in 2017, compared to 24 percent four years earlier.

The Bible: consumption in the United States

The frequency of reading the Bible among adults in the U.S. changed very little between 2018 and 2019, however reading habits among survey respondents were at two extremes. Whilst the majority reported never reading the Bible at all, the second largest share of adults said that they read the text every day. Whilst the average time spent with the Bible has only very mildly fluctuated over the last few years, attitudes and consumption habits are changing.

Back in 2011, 67 percent of surveyed U.S. adults said that they wished they used the Bible more, however by 2019 this figure had dropped to 56 percent. In addition to this, digital formats have become more prevalent and have proved more appealing to younger readers than to older generations. Print is still by far the most popular format, however more Millennials and Gen-Xers prefer to read the Bible via a smartphone or tablet app than their older peers, and the frequency of reading online versions of the Bible was also higher among younger generations.

Whilst to older generations using digital versions of religious or sacred texts may seem strange or even a step too far, clearly a demand for such content exists. The Bible app came second in a ranking of the highest rated iOS apps in the United States with over 97 percent positive user reviews – that’s almost ten percent more than Spotify. With consumers all over the world making the move from print to digital, it is possible that digital versions of the Bible will increase in popularity even further, though there will likely always be groups who simply believe such a text should be kept in its traditional format.

The graph presents data on the frequency of using the Bible specifically through an app, audio, podcast or as a result of an internet search among adults in the United States as of January 2019, sorted by generation. The findings show that 23 percent of Millennials and Gen-Xers reported using the Bible in a digital format several times per week, compared to ten percent of Boomers who said the same.
