Trends and comparisons

How often books, book groups, chapters or verses are used over time, and how denominations, persons, translations, sources, topics, years or audience sizes compare: up to six lines side by side, in the approved public records of the official profile.

The sources of this database cover very different years. A rise or fall in the number of uses mostly shows which sources cover a period, not how popular a passage was. Read the share: the uses of this passage per thousand of all uses recorded for the same period.

Each group is a condition on the records, shown in words under its name: a record counts when it meets it. Records that do not record the data point precisely enough to decide are counted apart as not evaluable, never in a group. A broader type includes its narrower ones.
