I’m terrible at following reading plans.
However, I’m somewhat prepared to start new ones each year.
In 2011 I’ve been attracted to a one-year chronological plan designed by George Guthrie of Read The Bible For Life. The plan organises a year’s worth of Bible readings in the order they occurred, an interesting step in developing a biblical theology while doing daily readings.
You can download a pdf of the plan here.
I’ve copied a summary and two sample week’s reading plans from Trevin Wax.
In this plan, the material of the Bible has been organized to flow in chronological order. Since exact dating of some materials or events is not possible, the chronology simply represents an attempt to give you the reader the general flow and development of the Bible’s grand story. Some passages are placed according to topic (e.g., John 1:1-3 in Week 1, Day 2; and many of the psalms). There are six readings for each week to give you space for catching up when needed.
Here are a couple of typical weeks:
WEEK 1
Day One
Day Two
- John 1:1-3
- Psalms 8; 104
Day Three
Day Four
Day Five
Day Six
WEEK 31
Day One
Day Two
Day Three
Day Four
Day Five
Day Six
