Scripture Statistics Across All Standard Works

Scripture Stats provides a quantitative bird's-eye view of the entire Latter-day Saint scriptural canon. It tallies every book, chapter, verse, and word across all five volumes -- the Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price -- and presents them through animated counters, comparative bar charts, and ranked lists that make the scope of scripture tangible.

Beyond simple counts, the tool surfaces the most cross-referenced verses in all of scripture, showing which passages are cited and echoed most frequently throughout the canon. It also highlights key scripture words -- terms like covenant, faith, repentance, and atonement -- with their total occurrence counts and their original Hebrew and Greek equivalents. This gives you a data-driven sense of which concepts the Lord has emphasized most across dispensations.

The interesting facts section surfaces details that surprise even lifelong scripture students. Which is the longest book? The shortest verse? How many distinct prophets contributed to the canon? Over what span of years were these records kept? These statistics transform abstract impressions into concrete knowledge and often spark new questions that lead to deeper study.

For Latter-day Saints, understanding the shape and scale of the standard works is part of taking scripture seriously. When you can see that the Book of Mormon contains over 6,000 verses and nearly 270,000 words -- comparable in scale to the entire New Testament -- it shifts your perspective on the depth available for study. Scripture Stats makes the invisible architecture of the canon visible.
