Data from: Critical biblical studies via word frequency analysis: Unveiling text authorship

• We address the question of authorship of biblical texts by employing statistical analysis to the frequency of words using a new method that is particularly sensitive to deviations in frequencies associated with few words out of potentially many. The data below consists of the "discriminating words" which have the biggest effect on the value of the Higher Criticism statistic from the analyses of 50 chapters.
