Well I wouldn't look for idioms, but it would be interesting to throw in information such as "Strong's Concordance" into the mix, I've yet to really think of an application for this library fully, but it would be fun to play around with it nonetheless. I would be analyzing the Hebrew / Greek / Syriac scripts, seeking verses omitted, or missing, etc. It would make for interesting studying if anything.

You might be interested in Andrew Bannister's research on computer analysis of the Quran. He wrote a book on it [1], and there's also this paper which gives a high-level overview [2].
