My Reading Plan
Well, I guess “my” is a misnomer…It’s actually the ESV study plan found at the back of the ESV Study Bible. I’m only two months into it, but I’m enjoying the idea behind the plan.
Like most plans it has you reading in four places at a time:
–Psalms and Wisdom Literature
–Pentateuch and History of Israel
–Chronicles and Prophets
–Gospels and Epistles
The Pentateuch and History of Israel begins with the five books of Moses and then moves on to the rest of the history of Israel in chronological order.
The Chronicles and Prophets begins with 1 & 2 Chronicles (Kings and Samuel are in the History reading) and then moves on to the prophets chronologically. Opening with the Chronicles gives you much of the historical context out of which the prophets were writing.
The Gospels and Epistles are grouped by author:
–Luke & Acts
–Paul
–Matthew
–Hebrews (which could be Paul!)
–Mark & Peter (b/c Mark used Peter as his primary source)
–James
–John & the Epistles of John & Revelation (with Jude slipped in there)
This is a fresh take on a standard read-in-four-places-at-a-time-Bible-in-a-year-plan.
Let me know if you decide to join me.
