Overview

This project analyzes and categorizes the emotional language in the Bibical books of Psalms and Revelations. The types of emotional language present in both of these books are then compared in order to assess the difference in tone between the Old and New Testaments.

Our research questions:

• What is the emotional tone and language of the book of Psalms and the book of Revelations?
• Is there any variation from the Old Testament to the New Testament?
