A Bible Reading Plan

Reading the Bible from beginning to end is hard going. The various books that make up the Bible are not arranged to be read in that order. They are grouped together in various literary categories, e.g. history, psalms, prophets, gospels, letters of Paul, etc. and the books within some of these categories are arranged in decreasing order of length!

The attached Bible Reading Plan is arranged to make reading through the Bible more interesting. The Old Testament is three times as long as the New Testament, but the New Testament Scriptures are more accessible to the modern reader and speak more directly to Christians. Therefore, I have intermingled New with Old Testament readings and included the New Testament twice. The Psalms, Proverbs and Gospels are spaced throughout the plan at appropriate places. There are no daily portions and you can proceed at your own pace. If you read an average of one chapter per day, it will take you four years to read the entire plan (Old Testament once and the New Testament twice).

Print the two pages of the plan back-to-back on an A4 page and fold in three to form the bookmark Bible Reading Plan. Printing the plan on parchment style paper looks good. I hope it helps you enjoy reading the Bible. Download here: brp_v10
