Resumo
© The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.Religious literature is among the most widely read ones. The Bible is the normative corpus for Christians. However, it is not a trivial text to read, due to its high degree of literary and linguistic variability, making sermon construction a laborious activity. This work proposes a method, called SwarmaBle, for automating the construction of Biblical sermons through a combination of natural language processing and swarm intelligence. The study combines quantitative and qualitative assessments of SwarmaBle, exploring its sensitivity to two hyperparameters and presenting a discussion about expert-evaluated recommended passages. The results show a consistent performance of SwarmaBle, achieving an average performance above 70% in the quantitative analysis. Domain experts reported positive evaluations regarding SwarmaBle’s ability to recommend meaningful Biblical passages for the given topic.
