A Proposed Bible Reading Adventure

Read a chapter from each of these sections each day (a total of seven chapters). When you get to the end of a section, simply go back and start reading again. You get the Bible all mixed up together. The Old Testament sections follow the order of the Hebrew Bible. This is a variation on Grant Horner's Bible Reading Schedule, but I think it's more interesting.

Section 1: The Pentateuch (187 chapters)

Section 2: The Former Prophets: Joshua, Judges, 1-2 Samuel, 1-2 Kings (147 chapters)

Section 3: The Latter Prophets: Isaiah through Malachi, minus Lamentations and Daniel (233 chapters)

Section 4: Psalms (150 chapters)

Section 5: The Writings, in this order: Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, 1-2 Chronicles (252 chapters)

Section 6: Gospels, Acts, and Revelation (139 chapters)

Section 7: The Epistles (121 chapters)

Sections: Shortest to Longest

Section 7: The Epistles

Section 6: Gospels, Acts, and Revelation

Section 2: The Former Prophets

Section 4: Psalms

Section 1: The Pentateuch

Section 3: The Latter Prophets

Section 5: The Writings

What this means is that you will get through the epistles more often than Gospels, Acts, and Revelation. You will get through the Pentateuch more often than through the Latter prophets, etc.
