Digital Jesus

Dr. Randall Reed, Cameron Small, and Elizabeth Henry have been working on a project called Digital Jesus. We are working on creating a database that contains all the sayings of Jesus from the Biblical text in multiple English translations. Every saying will be included with verse tagging and applicable cross-references. The dataset will be made available for scholars to use in their own projects. Applications from a data set such as this might provide the ability to compare differences in translations, look for trends within a translation, or create AI applications such as distinguishing between authentic and inauthentic sayings, generating Jesus-like sayings, or even detecting previously unnoticed patterns in Jesus’ message.
